(2026:JHHC:4678) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B. A. No. 11054 of 2025 Biswajeet Soren @ Bishwajeet Soren, aged about 21 years, s/o Subodhan Soren, resident of village - Chhotudih, P.O. & P.S. - Fatehpur, District - Jamtara. … … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … … Opposite Party --- CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. --- For the Petitioner : Mr. Abhishek Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Gautam Rakesh, A.P.P. --- 03/18th February, 2026 1. This Bail Application under Section 483 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been filed to release the petitioner on regular bail in connection with S. T. No. 74 of 2025 arising out of Fatehpur P.S. Case No. 02 of 2025, for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1), 238 and 3 (5) of the B.N.S. (earlier Sections 302 / 201 read with 34 of the IPC). The case is presently pending before the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge - IInd, Jamtara. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. Perused the material available on record and also gone through the impugned order. 3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail. 4. After hearing the parties, I find that the informant came to the village of the petitioner and saw the dead body of her daughter lying in the house of this petitioner on 13.01.2025 but she did not raise any dispute nor filed any FIR. Thereafter, she returned again on 14.01.2025 after the cremation and lodged this case on 15.01.2025 alleging that her daughter has been murdered. 5. Since the body has been cremated, there is nothing to suggest that the death is homicidal. Even also the prosecution cannot prove that the death is homicidal. (2026:JHHC:4678) 2 6. The cause of death also could not be ascertained. It is also argued that if at all, the informant had doubt about the death, then why on 13.01.2025 before cremation, no FIR was lodged nor the Police was informed? Thus, without making any further comments, I am inclined to allow this bail application. 7. Accordingly, this Bail Application is allowed. The petitioner above named is directed to be released on bail in connection with S. T. No. 74 of 2025 arising our of Fatehpur P.S. Case No. 02 of 2025, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten Thousand Only), with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge - IInd, Jamtara, subject to the condition that one of the bailers should be a close relative of the petitioner, having sufficient landed property in his / her own name within the State of Jharkhand.
