JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Anup Kr. Agarwal, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Azeemuddin, A.P.P. --------- 04/Dated:-19.03.2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 302, 201, 34 IPC. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and he has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He further submits that no incriminating article has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and the petitioner is having no criminal antecedent. He further submits that the charge has already been framed on 03.07.2024 and out of 18 charge- sheeted witnesses only 3 witnesses have been examined till date and the petitioner for no offence has been languishing in custody since 22.12.2023; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. He submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition as imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegations made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that out of 18 charge-sheeted witnesses, only 3 witnesses have been examined as such there is no likelihood of early conclusion of trial and the petitioner is in custody since 22.12.2023; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional District & Sessions Judge-II, Godda in connection with Godda (Town) P.S. Case No. 309/2023 corresponding to G.R. No.290/2024 and S.T. No.144/2024. 6. It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witnesses and shall co- operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
