The petitioners are accused in connection with Jadugora P.S. Case No. 66 of 2024, registered under Sections 303(2), 334(1) of the B.N.S., 2023, pending in the Court of Learned A.C.J.M., Ghatshila.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that the gist of the allegations as set out in the F.I.R. is that petitioners have committed theft of several articles from the shop of the informant including several mobile phones, laptops, etc., as mentioned in the F.I.R.
4.
It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that petitioners are in judicial custody since 29.10.2024 and they have been remanded in the present case from Purulia P.S. Case No.185 of 2024 dated 23.10.2024 and they have been connected with the commission of the alleged offence in the present case in view of the fact that recovery made in the said Purulia P.S. case is tallying with the articles mentioned in the present case which are said to have been stolen.
5. Further, it is submitted that the charge-sheet has been submitted in this case and therefore possibility of tampering the evidence is very remote and hence they deserve to be enlarged on bail.
6.
On the other hand, the learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State has opposed the contentions raised on behalf of the petitioners and
2 B.A. No.516 of 2024
submitted that they are the men of criminal history as they have been remanded from the Purulia P.S. Case No.185 of 2024 and therefore they do not deserve to be enlarged on bail.
7.
Having heard the parties, perused the records of this case.
8.
In light of the persuasive submission advanced on behalf of the petitioners and under the facts and circumstances of this case, it is found just and fair to enlarge the petitioners on bail. Accordingly, these petitioners are
directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty-five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Court of Learned A.C.J.M., Ghatshila, in connection with Jadugora P.S. Case No. 66 of 2024, subject to the condition that the petitioners will cooperate in the criminal proceeding pending in the learned Trial Court and they shall remain present on each and every date of the criminal trial as and when required, failing which, appropriate order shall be passed by the learned Court below for the cancellation of the bail as per the provision of law.
