Shikha Agrawal, learned JMFC, Palamau. On 15.07.2024, a bus bearing Registration No. JH03Y-5671 dashed a tempo, due to which, two passengers died and several co-passengers were injured. It is alleged that a mob of five hundred persons set the bus on fire and assaulted the driver due to which he succumbed to his injuries. It was submitted that there is general and omnibus allegation against the accused persons. It was further submitted that similarly situated co- accused persons have been granted bail by this Court earlier. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail, but does not dispute the aforesaid facts. In view of the submission made above, I am inclined to release the petitioners, on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners, named above, are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of Smt. Shikha Agrawal, learned JMFC, Palamau or her successor in connection with Lesliganj P.S. Case No. 82/2024. (Ambuj Nath, J.) Jay/-
