RANCHI, India, April 9 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on March 9:

1. This bail application has been filed under Sections 483 & 484 of BNSS, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as he is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 392 of IPC

2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order.

3. Learned Spl.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.

4. From the fact and record, I find that petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. Only on the basis of confessional statement, he has been made an accused in this case. There is no recovery from the possession of the petitioner though there is one antecedent, but surprisingly, the petitioner was not put on TIP.

5. Considering the aforesaid fact, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Sub- Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Chatra in connection with Pratappur Police Station Case No.44 of 2020 subject to the condition that one of the bailors should be a close relative of the petitioner, having sufficient landed property in his own name within the State of Jharkhand.
