Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence at all and has been falsely implicated in this case. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. and he has been implicated in this case only because he happens to be the son of co-accused Jiyaul Shekh, who has already been enlarged on bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 08.12.2025 in B.A. No. 11311 of 2025.

Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the facts that the petitioner’s name appeared on the confessional statement of co-accused Jiyaul Shekh, who has been granted regular bail by this Court; I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released 2026:JHHC:5743 2 on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Pakur in connection with Pakur (Town) P.S.
