4. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
5. Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegation against the petitioner and the period of custody coupled with fact that charge-sheet has been submitted; I am inclined to enlarge the

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 Sessions Judge, Ramgarh, in connection with Patratu (Bhurkunda) P.S.
