Case No. 350 of 2023, for the offence registered under sections 307/326/120B/34 of Indian Penal Code and Sections 25(1-B) (a), 26, 27 and 35 of the Arms Act and cognizance has been taken under Sections 147, 148, 149, 353, 333, 307, 326, 302, 414, 120B/34 of the IPC and Sections 25(1-B) (a), 25(6) 26, 27 and 35 of the Arms Act, pending in the court of Sri Abhas Verma, learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Jamshedpur. On 08.12.2023, the accused persons are said to have fired upon the police party near Road No. 16, Jawaharnagar, Mango, Jamshedpur due to which one Ramdeo Mahato was injured and he succumbed to his injuries. It appears that co- accused Sanjay Sarkar was apprehended at the place of occurrence and he confessed his guilt and also implicated the petitioner alongwith other co-accused persons. It was submitted that apart from confession of co-accused, there is no other material against the petitioner on the record. It was further submitted that similarly situated co-accused persons have been granted bail by this Court as well as by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. Mr. Vineet Kumar Vashistha, learned Spl.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail, but does not dispute the aforesaid facts. In view of the submissions made above, I am inclined to release the petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of Sri Abhas Verma, learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Jamshedpur or his successor in connection with Sessions Trial No.344 of 2024, arising out of Mango P.S.
