Further, petitioners are in judicial custody since 07.09.2024 and no incriminating articles have been recovered from the possession of the petitioners. 4. Further, it has been submitted that charge-sheet in this case has been submitted, therefore, possibility of tampering with the evidence is very remote and, one similarly situated co-accused namely Bhairo Paswan has been enlarged on bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court in B.A. No. 10879 of 2024 vide order dated 03.01.2025 and hence, petitioners deserve to be enlarged on bail. 5. On the other hand, learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the 2 State has opposed the contentions raised by the petitioners and submitted that petitioners accompanying other thieves entered into the house of the Informant and committed theft and ornaments and cash have been stolen. However, learned A.P.P. did not controvert the fact that petitioners are languishing in judicial custody since 07.09.2024 and one of the similarly situated co-accused namely Bhairo Paswan has been enlarged on bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court in B.A. No. 10879 of 2024 vide order dated 03.01.2025. 6. Having heard the parties, perused the record of the case. 7.
