Order No.03 Dated- 19.06.2026
Heard the parties.
The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. No. 175 of 2025 arising out of Mango (Olidih) P.S. Case No.264 of 2024 (G.R. No. 193 of 2025) registered for the offences punishable under sections 103/3(5)/61(2) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 27 of Arms Act.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons and in criminal conspiracy with them has committed the murder of Vikas Kumar Gupta by firing upon him. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the co-accused persons who are not named in the FIR have been admitted to bail. It is next submitted that some of the witnesses have stated that coaccused-Chandan Giri has committed the murder. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail.
The learned Addl. P.P. 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 Vikas Kumar Gupta, there is every chance of the petitioner
absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not to be admitted to bail.
Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and the chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence, if released on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the abovenamed petitioner be admitted to bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the abovenamed petitioner is rejected.
