The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 302/201 of Indian Penal Code, in connection with Mandu (Kujju) P.S. Case No.88 of 2023. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has not committed any offence and out of grudge and vendetta, the petitioner was made accused in this case. He further submits that from perusal of FIR it appears that there is no allegation of assault being levelled against this petitioner at any point of time. He further submits that none of the witnesses has supported that the petitioner had assaulted the deceased and merely on the basis of suspicion, he had been falsely implicated in this case. Learned counsel further submits that co-accused namely Surendra Mahto has been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 09.04.2024 in B.A. No. 263 of 2024. He further submits that petitioner is languishing in custody since 16.06.2025; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. He is ready to abide by every condition imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the facts of the case and similarly situated co- accused has already been granted bail by this Court in B.A. No. 263 of 2024, I am inclined to enlarge this 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 2025:JHHC:22577 2 the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ramgarh in connection with Mandu (Kujju) P.S.

It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
