                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN KUMAR JHA
                                       ORAL ORDER

3   17-01-2026                     Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                   2. In the present case, the petitioner seeks bail in

                   connection with Alamnagar P.S. Case No. 82 of 2025 dated

                   13.03.2025, registered for the offences punishable under

                   Sections 103(1) and 238 of the B.N.S., 2023.

                                   3. As per the prosecution case, a dead body was

                   recovered which was subsequently identified to be the body of

                   one Sanjeev Kumar. The name of the petitioner transpired

                   during investigation for being involved in a conspiracy of

                   murder of said Sanjeev Kumar.

                                   4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

                   petitioner submits that petitioner is a lady, aged about twenty-

                   two years and she is a student of B.Sc. The petitioner has been

                   made an accused in this case on the basis of confessional

          statement and apart from this confessional statement, there is no

          material on record to show the complicity of the petitioner in the

          alleged occurrence. Even from the confessional statement it is

          evident that the petitioner is not the assailant and the allegation

          of assault and killing Sanjeev Kumar is against other co-accused

          persons, though the petitioner is stated to be a paramour of

          Sanjeev Kumar. Learned counsel next submits that petitioner is

          having clean antecedent and chargesheet has been submitted.

          Learned counsel lastly submits that petitioner is in custody since

          19.03.2025.

                          5. Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State

          opposes the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner and

          submits that during investigation police came to know about the

          relationship of the deceased with this petitioner and as the

          deceased had been blackmailing the petitioner on the basis of

          some nude photographs taken by the deceased, the petitioner

          entered into a conspiracy with other co-accused persons for

          doing away with the life of the deceased.

                          6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and

          submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the

          lack of substantive material against the petitioner to show her

          complicity and also considering the fact that she is a lady and

                    her clean antecedent, her period of custody and submission of

                    chargesheet, the petitioner, above-named, is directed to be

                    released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-

                    (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like

                    to the condition laid down under Section 480(3) of the B.N.S.S.

                    and other following conditions:

                                    (i) One of the bailors will be a close relative of the

                                    (ii) The petitioner will remain present on each and

                    every date fixed by the court below, if so required by the learned
