JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rishu Ranjan, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Bandana Sinha, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.04 Dated- 27.04.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Thakurgaon P.S. Case No.70 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 308(4)/308(2)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 4/5 of Explosives Substances Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner demanded extortion through mobile phone and threatened that; otherwise the shop of the informant shall be blasted with bomb and on the next day, two persons came on a bike and threw two bombs. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused-Abdul Rahim and the IMEI of the mobile phone used in the occurrence is registered in the name of the petitioner but the sim card of the mobile phone used in making the extortion call was in the name of the co-accused person namely Abdul Rahim and he is the main culprit. It is further submitted that the petitioner has not been put to T.I. Parade as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 3 of the supplementary affidavit, even though he is not named in the FIR and charge sheet has been submitted in this case. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.15 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 07.11.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb 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 abovenamed 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 Judicial Magistrate, Ranchi, in connection with Thakurgaon P.S. Case No.70 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the 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 witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
