Earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected by this Court vide order dated 23.06.2025 passed in B.A. No.5028 of 2025.

It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 24.10.2024 as is evident from para-17 of the instant bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-18 of the instant bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Considering the facts of this case, the above-named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, FTC, Bermo at Tenughat in connection with Sessions Trial Case No. 36 of 2025 arising out of Chatrochatti P.S.
