3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant has been falsely implicated in this case, he has not committed any offence as alleged against him. Jaimani Kispotta & Ramiya Kispotta, eye-witness of the incident examined before the trial Court as PW-1 & PW-2 and they have not support the case of prosecution. There is no evidence/material available to connect this applicant in the aforementioned crime/offence. Applicant is in jail since 13.02.2022, charge sheet has been filed, conclusion of trial may take some time, hence, he may be released on bail.
4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the submission made by learned counsel for the applicant and would submit that there is specific allegation against the applicant of committing the aforesaid offence/crime, hence, he is not entitled for grant of bail.
5. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
6. Considering facts of the case, nature of allegations, submission of
learned counsel for the parties, eye-witness Jaimani Kispotta & Ramiya Kispotta (PW-1 & PW-2) have not support the case of prosecution and turned hostile, further considering that there is no evidence/material which shows that applicant has made any attempt to tamper with the prosecution witnesses, applicant is not having any previous antecedent, period of detention of applicant ie since 13.02.2022, without commenting anything on merits of the case, I am inclined to allow this bail application.

It is directed that applicant shall be released on regular bail, on his furnishing a bail bond in sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in like sum to satisfaction of concerned Court on the conditions that- a) applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the
