Order No.02 Dated- 07-10-2026
Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Kamdara P.S. Case No.13 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 103(1) of the BNS, 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed murder of the husband of the informant namely Baila Budhwa Kerketta by assaulting him with a stick. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that there is discrepancy regarding the place of occurrence. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent; as has been mentioned in para-16 of this bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 25.02.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no.24 of the bail application. It is then submitted that charge sheet has been submitted in this case, but no witness has been examined as yet. It is further 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. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of committing murder of the husband of the informant namely Baila Budhwa Kerketta, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail, therefore, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of having committed the murder of the husband of the informant namely Baila Budhwa Kerketta, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail, hence, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected at this stage.
