The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons committed the murder of Rasik Manjhi. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and admittedly the petitioner only assaulted the victim with slaps, and admittedly the petitioner, after the victim fell down, lifted him from the place of occurrence and made him sleep on a cot; which goes to show that the petitioner has no intention to kill the deceased. It is next submitted that as per the postmortem report, the deceased was heavily drunk, as fluid of 200 CC with smell of alcohol was found in his stomach. It is further submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioner of assaulting the deceased with any weapon. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –17 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 23.12.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 18 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. and the learned counsel for the informant opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-III, Jamshedpur, in connection with Mango P.S.
