Heard the parties.
The petitioners have been made accused in connection with Bashistanagar P.S. Case No. 24 of 2024, for the offence registered under Sections 302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chatra.
On 10.03.2024, the husband of the informant went missing. On 13.03.2024, his dead body was recovered from Nanki Tari Forest near Jogani Hills. Suspicion has been raised against the petitioners and co-accused that due to the land dispute, they might have committed the murder of the deceased.
Mr. Santosh Kumar Shukla, learned A.P.P on behalf of the State submitted that the name of the petitioners has come only on the basis of suspicion.
In view of the aforesaid fact, 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 learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chatra, in connection with Bashistanagar P.S.
