RANCHI, India, June 23 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on May 27:
1. The petitioner is an accused for the offences punishable under Sections 310(4) / 310(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 25 (1-B) (a) / 27 and 35 of the Arms Act.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He submits that even if content of written report is taken to be true, there is alleged recovery of one 7.65 MM loaded pistol from the possession of co-accused Golu Gupta and on the basis of confessional statement of another co-accused, namely, Ravi Ram @ Chotu Ram, one 7.65 MM loaded pistol and one country made 'Katta' were also recovered. Though the petitioner was apprehended from the place of occurrence, however, there was no recovery of any incriminating article from his possession. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been stated in paragraph No.15 of the present bail application. The petitioner is in judicial custody in connection with the present case since 11.03.2025, hence he may be given the privilege of regular bail.
3. Learned APP opposes the petitioner's prayer for bail.
4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, considering the materials available on record as well as keeping in view that the petitioner is in judicial custody since 11.03.2025, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
5. Accordingly, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Seraikella in connection with Adityapur P.S.
