JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rajveer Singh, Advocate (VC) : Mr. Rajeev Ranjan Raj, Advocate : Mr. Ajay Kr. Lal, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rajneesh Vardhan, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 20-04-2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chanho P.S. Case No.153 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/238/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons has committed the murder of Rambali Yadav and caused disappearance of the evidence of his murder. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the dead body of the deceased Rambali Yadav has not yet been recovered. It is further submitted that as the dead body of the deceased has not yet been recovered, so the question of post mortem of the deceased does not arise. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case on the basis of suspicion. It is next submitted that the petitioner was the kept of the alleged deceased and there is no motive attributed to the petitioner for killing the deceased. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 11.10.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-16 of this bail application. It is next submitted that the co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 10.03.2026 in B.A. no.1252 of 2026. It is then submitted that charge sheet has already been submitted in this case. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that she 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 Additional Judicial Commissioner-XVII, Ranchi, in connection with Chanho P.S. Case No.153 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish her mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that she will not change her mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that she will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
