JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Manoj Kr. No.2, Advocate For the State : Mr. Suraj Deo Munda, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 20.04.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioners have moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chainpur P.S. Case No.228 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1)/ 238/ 61(2)/ 303(2)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons and in criminal conspiracy with them have committed murder of the brother of the informant and caused disappearance of the evidence of murder; besides committing theft of gold chain and mobile phone. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and the petitioners are not named in the FIR and they have been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused persons. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.13 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 31.01.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 13 of the bail application and charge sheet has been submitted in this case. It is next submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they 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 petitioners 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 petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Palamau at Daltonganj, in connection with Chainpur P.S. Case No.228 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
