The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Section 26(1)(f)(g), 52(1), 64 of Indian Forest Act, 1927 (Bihar Amendment Act, 1989) and Sections 27, 29, 31, 51 of Wild Life Protection Act in connection with Complaint Case No.2618 of 2025.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. He further submits that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedents and the petitioner for no offence has been languishing in custody since 26.07.2025; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. He submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition as 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 looking to the allegation made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that the petitioner is having no criminal antecedents; 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/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Koderma in connection with Complaint Case No.2618 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.
