The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Section 364-A of IPC, later on charge has been framed under section 364A/34, 302/34, 120B, 201 IPC. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He further submits that the charge has been framed and out of eight charge-sheeted witnesses only three witnesses has been examined and none of them have supported the prosecution case. He further submits that the petitioner has not named in the F.I.R. and nothing incriminating article has been recovered from the possession of this petitioner. He lastly submits that the petitioner is in custody since 31.03.2024; 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 eight charge-sheeted witnesses, only three witnesses have been examined as such there is no likelihood of early conclusion of trial and the petitioner is in custody since 31.03.2024; 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 the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge, III at East Singhbhum Jamshedpur, in connection with S.T.

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.
