Order No.02 Dated- 07-10-2026
Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Bario P.S. Case No. 48 of 2026 instituted under Sections 316(2), 316(5), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 336(4) & 340(2) of BNS, 2023. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was instrumental in defrauding a huge amount of government money in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused Shashi Kumar Munna by making illegal entries of non-deserving beneficiaries on NSAP Portal. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused Shashi Kumar Munna, who disclosed the name of 43 persons including the petitioner and co-accused persons of the case; as middleman. It is then submitted that the petitioner is not a government servant and the main allegation is against Shashi Kumar Munna. It is also submitted that charge sheet has been submitted in this case, but no witness has been examined as yet. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as mentioned in paragraph-11 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 28.06.2026, as mentioned in para-06 of this bail application. It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to cooperate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case hence, the petitioner may be admitted to bail. Learned Spl. P.P. opposed the prayer for bail. Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioner 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 J.M.F.C., Sahibganj in connection with Bario P.S. Case No. 48 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case and will co- operate with the trial of the case and will furnish mobile phone number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change the mobile phone number during the trial of the case.
