JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Manish Yadav, Advocate For the State : Ms. Sushma Aind, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.05 Dated- 27.04.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Murhu P.S. Case No.45 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 303(2)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in commission of theft of a Pick-up Van. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case on the basis of his confessional statement in connection with some other case. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 14.02.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by the coordinate benches of this Court vide orders dated 18.03.2026 and 02.04.2026 in B.A. Nos. 876 of 2026 and 1156 of 2026 respectively. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released 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 S.D.J.M., Khunti, in connection with Murhu P.S. Case No.45 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
