[2026:JHHC:5208] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No.11841 of 2025 ------ Rasool Mian, aged about 40 years, son of Nuri Mian, resident of Village Baradih, P.O. Berhabad, P.S. Jamua, District Giridih, Jharkhand .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Sudhir Kr. Roy, Advocate For the State : Mr. Praful Jojo, Addl.P.P For the O.P. No.2 : Mr. Vijay Kr. Roy, Advocate ------ Order No.04 Dated- 20-02-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. No.102 of 2025 arising out of Jamua P.S. Case No.184 of 2024 (M.C.A. No.1854 of 2025) registered under Section 103 (1) and 3 (5) of the B.N.S., 2023. This is the second journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail as earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 13.06.2025 passed in B.A. No.4136 of 2025. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the only fresh ground is that in the meanwhile two witnesses have been examined including the P.W.-1 who is the eye-witness to the occurrence and he has categorically stated that the petitioner cut neck of his father with a Katari (a sharp cutting weapon) and has damaged the ear of the deceased with an iron rod, resulting in death of his father. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 25.10.2024. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the opposite party No.2 on the other hand vehemently oppose the prayer for bail and submit that in view of the direct evidence against the petitioner regarding his involvement in commission of the murder of the father of the P.W.-1 by cutting his throat with a Katari (a sharp cutting weapon), there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence to evade serving out the sentence which is likely to be imposed in case of his conviction in this case, if released on bail, in view of the overwhelming evidence that has already come in record against the petitioner. It is, therefore, submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail at this stage. Considering the direct allegation of serious nature against the petitioner of cutting the throat of the father of P.W.-1 by a Katari (a sharp cutting weapon) resulting in his death and also causing damage to his ear with iron rod as well as his chance of absconding and tampering with the evidence if released on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the above-named petitioner be released on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Dated- 20.02.2026-Animesh/
