                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHOK KUMAR PANDEY
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   01-07-2026                  Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner has prayed for bail registered for the

                   offence punishable under Sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the

                   B.N.S., 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

                                3. The case of the prosecution, in short, is that one

                   Sushil Chaurasia was shot dead by unknown persons.

                                4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

                   petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has

                   committed no offence. She has been falsely implicated in this

                   case. He submits that during the course of the investigation, the

                   name of this petitioner has surfaced on the basis of the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42961 of 2026(2) dt.01-07-2026
                                            2/3




          confessional statement of co-accused Suhail Khan. He also

          submits that nothing has been recovered from the possession of

          the petitioner. During the course of the investigation, it has

          come out that the petitioner had hired someone to kill Prem

          Pasi, with whom she was having a relationship. It further

          transpires from the case diary that the shooter mistakenly killed

          the son of the informant. He also submits that even in a

          confessional statement it has come out that the petitioner has

          hired a shooter to kill Prem Pasi, not the deceased. Save and

          accept the confessional statement of the co-accused, there is

          nothing against the petitioner. Moreover, the petitioner is a lady

          having no criminal antecedent and she is languishing in judicial

          custody since 02.02.2026.

                       5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP

          for the State.

                       6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

          considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is

          inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named

          petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail

          bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. ten thousand only) with two sureties

          of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief

          Judicial Magistrate, Kaimur in connection with Bhagwanpur
