Thereafter, first informant raised demand of agricultural land, ornaments and Rs. 5 Lakhs and when they expressed their inability in fulfilling the said demand the present first information report has been lodged. Applicants have no criminal antecedents and there is no likelihood of their fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail; hence, bail has been prayed for. Learned AGA has vehemently opposed, but could not dispute the fact that no specific role has been assigned to any of the applicants. Considering all those facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the accused-applicants, Mahendra Kol and Man Singh, involved in above mentioned case crime number be released on bail, on their executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the following conditions: 1.
