The applicant, who is in custody since 11.03.2024, has approached this Court for grant of regular bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 280 of 2024 arising out of Manoharpur P.S. Case No. 08 of 2024 registered for the offence under Sections 302, 201, 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of the learned Sessions Judge, Camp Court at West Singhbhum, Chakradharpur, Chaibasa. 3. The prayer for bail of this applicant was earlier rejected vide order dated 19.09.2024 passed in B.A. No. 5545 of 2024. 4. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that complete set of FIR along with its enclosures have been annexed with the present bail application and there is no suppression on his/her part. 5. A report was called for regarding stage of the trial. As per the report received from the learned Sessions Judge, West Singhbhum at Chaibasa, all the 12 charge-sheeted witnesses have been examined and the case is at the stage of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. 5. Considering the fact that earlier the prayer for bail has been rejected on merit, I am not inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. 6. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. However, if the trial is not concluded within a period of three months, the applicant is at liberty to renew his prayer for grant of regular bail. (Rajesh Kumar, J.) 28.11.2025 A.Mohanty
