Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Kanke P. S. case no. 290 of 2025 instituted under Section 305, 331(4) of BNS, 2023.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner committed theft of jewelleries from the dwelling house of the informant. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and no stolen property of this case has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and no TIP has been conducted; even though the petitioner is not named in the First Information Report. It is further submitted by
learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 01.12.2025, as mentioned in para 16 of this bail application. It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to co-operate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the
case in any manner during trial of the case, hence, the petitioner may be admitted to regular bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for regular bail . Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioner on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned JMFC, Ranchi in connection with Kanke P. S. case no. 290 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case and will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish mobile phone number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change the mobile phone number during the trial of the case.
