The petitioner is an accused in connection with Gawan PS Case No. 120/2021. The son of the informant was suspected to have been abducted by unknown persons. Subsequently, the dead body of the son of the informant was recovered.

The petitioner is in custody since 20.11.2021. Although the status report was called for from the learned trial Court but the said report dated 10.03.2026 neither reveals as to the number of witnesses, who have been examined nor does it say the number of witnesses, who are left to be examined or for that matter the tentative time the learned trial Court shall take in concluding the trial. Considering the fact that the petitioner has been implicated on the confessional statement of Sandeep Kumar Mushar and there is no evidence other than the said confessional statement, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Addl.
