    Summary: The Jharkhand High Court granted bail to Pradeep Khirhar, accused of abduction for ransom under BNS 2023 sections 140(2) and 3(5) in connection with Mohanpur P.S. Case No. 257 of 2025. The court was persuaded by petitioner's arguments that he lacked criminal antecedents, had been in custody since October 18, 2025, was not named in the FIR, and a co-accused with similar charges had already received bail. The court ordered release on Rs. 25,000 bail bond with two sureties, conditioning bail on non-interference with witnesses, trial cooperation, and maintaining contact details.
