Heard the parties.

The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Bero P.S. Case No.97 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 126(2), 109, 351(2) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 27 of the Arms Act.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner with the intention to kill the informant opened fire upon the informant but the informant escaped by taking a back step immediately. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 15.10.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 12 of the bail application. It is then submitted that charge sheet has already been submitted in this case and no injury has been sustained by the informant or anyone else. 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 informant or 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.

The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.

Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be

released 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 Judicial Magistrate -VIII, Ranchi, in connection with Bero P.S. Case No.97 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
