Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
5.
Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegation made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that several other co-accused persons have been granted bail and the petitioner is in custody since 31.01.2025; therefore, 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/- (Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub- Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Latehar in connection with Chhipadohar P.S. Case No.08/2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No.369 of 2025.
6.
It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witnesses and shall co-operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
