On 14.04.2024, Piparwar Police, on the basis of confidential information that extremists belonging to T.S.P.C., a banned extremists’ organization are hiding in the Lukiya forest and were making preparation for extracting levy from different persons, raided the place of occurrence. The petitioner alongwith co- accused persons were apprehended. On search, arms and ammunition were recovered from their possession. It was submitted that no person has come forward to claim that any levy was demanded by the accused persons. It was further submitted that the petitioner is in custody for about one year. It was finally submitted that similarly situated co-accused persons have been granted bail by this Court earlier. In view of the aforesaid facts, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge, Chatra, in connection with Piparwar P.S.
