04/07.09.2026 Heard Md. Yasir Arafat, learned counsel for the appellants and learned A.P.P. for the State.
This appeal is directed against the order dated 27.07.2026 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Pakur in Misc. Application No. 236/2026 in connection with Pakur Muffasil P.S. Case No. 120 of 2024, corresponding to S.T. No. 125 of 2026 whereby and whereunder, the prayer for regular bail of the appellants has been rejected.
It has been alleged that, on account of the slaughtering of bovine animals, the same hurt the religious sentiments of the villagers and had provoked communal unrest.
Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the appellants that three cases have been instituted against the appellants with a similar nature of allegations and, in one of the case, they have already been granted bail by this Court in Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 616 of 2026 and Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 598 of 2026. It has been submitted that the appellants are in custody since 12.03.2026 and appellant no. 1 is aged about 73 years.
2026:JHHC:26875-DB
Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the appellants.
Regard being had to the period of custody undergone by the appellants and the fact that in the earlier case both the appellants have been granted bail by this Court, we, while setting aside the order dated 27.07.2026 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Pakur in Misc. Application No. 236/2026, direct that the appellants be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Pakur in connection with Pakur Muffasil P.S. Case No. 120 of 2024, corresponding to S.T. No. 125 of 2026.
This appeal is allowed.
