The petitioner has moved before this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 174 of 2025 arising out of Saiko P.S.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was apprehended by the Police while he was preparing to commit Dacoity and from the possession of the petitioner one country-made pistol, one live cartridge and one mobile phone has been recovered. It is next submitted that earlier the petitioner was involved in one case, as he has been acquitted in that case, so at present, the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para no. 13 of this bail application. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been in custody since 07.08.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned District and Additional Sessions Judge – III, Khunti, in connection with S.T.
