Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is the holder of a mobile number who was in touch with the co-accused persons, who were involved in commission of murder of Ravi Kumar. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is not named in the FIR nor the co-accused persons, whose confessional statement has been recorded by the police, namely Guria Kumari, Raunak Kumar Upadhyay, Piyush Kumar Singh and Ashuthosh Kumar Sahu, have taken the name of the petitioner rather they have categorically stated that they themselves have committed murder of Ravi Kumar and except that alleged mobile number belongs to the father of the petitioner; there is no other material to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is the student of Sarla Birla University where the co-accused Ashutosh Kumar Sahu was also studying but the said Ashutosh Kumar Sahu has not implicated the petitioner in this case, in any manner. It is next submitted that the petitioner is ready to co-operate with the investigation of the case and also undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and he undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during pendency of the case hence, the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. The learned Addl. PP opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, in the event of arrest by the police or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, the petitioner shall be released on bail on depositing Rs. 10,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned CJM, Simdega in connection with Kolebira P.S.
