These are the bail applications U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Purunakatak PS Case No.88 of 2026 corresponding to CT Case No.136 of 2026 pending in the file of learned JMFC, Harabhanga at Charichhak for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.127(2)/ 115(2)/ 140(4)/ 308(5)/ 61(1)/ 3(5) of the BNS, on the main allegation of kidnapping the victim for ransom by demanding a sum of Rs. 50,000/-.
