1. Heard learned counsel for the parties.

3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has falsely been implicated in this case and for no offence he is languishing in judicial custody since 07.12.2024. The petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. and he has been apprehended in this case only on the basis of confession made by co-accused. However, the said co-accused has already been granted bail. As such he may be enlarged on bail.
4. Learned A.P.P. opposed the prayer for bail.

2025:JHHC:14447 2
B.A. No. 3100 of 2025 respectively, have already been granted regular bail by different Benches of this Court, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Latehar in connection with Balumath P.S. Case No. 134 of 2024, corresponding to G.R. No. 160 of 2024.
6. It is made clear that till commencement of trial the petitioner shall report to the local police station every month and after commencement of trial he shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witness and shall co-operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against the petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner.
