CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN
--- For the Petitioner : Mr. Ved Prakash, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shree Prakash Jha, A.P.P.
-- 02/07.03.2025 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P.
2. The petitioner has approached this Court for grant of regular bail in connection with Karra P.S. Case No. 15/2023, Corresponding to S.T. No. 180/2023, registered for the offence under Section 302 I.P.C, pending in the Court of Sri Rakesh Kumar Mishra, D.A.S.J. II, Khunti
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that out of six charge-sheeted witnesses only one has been examined, who has also not supported the case of the prosecution. He further submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case for the reason that he is the husband of the deceased. Since five more witnesses are yet to be examined and there is no likelihood of early conclusion of trial and the petitioner is in custody since 04.03.2023; as such he may be enlarged on bail.
4. Learned A.P.P. opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
5. Having regard to the aforesaid
facts and circumstances of the case, out of six charge-sheeted witnesses only one has been examined, who did not support the case of the prosecution coupled with the period of custody, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-
2
(Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sri Rakesh Kumar Mishra, D.A.S.J. II, Khunti, in connection with Karra P.S. Case No. 15/2023, Corresponding to S.T. No. 180/2023.
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.
(Deepak Roshan, J.)
