It has further been submitted that out of 12 charge sheet witnesses, only one witness has been examined so far.

Learned Spl.P.P as well as learned counsel appearing for the informant have opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Regard being had to the fact that the petitioner had merely caught hold of the deceased and was not directly responsible for giving a dagger blow which resulted to his death, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-IX, Giridih in connection with Giridih (T) P.S.
