It has been contended on behalf of the petitioners that merely on the basis of the false allegation, the petitioners have been implicated in this present case. 3. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the postmortem report does not suggest that the deceased 2026:JHHC:4894 Page | 2 was assaulted and manhandled and there is nothing to show that due to abatement by the petitioners, the deceased has committed suicide. 4. Further, submission has been made that in course of the investigation, some witnesses have claimed that objectionable photo was found in the mobile of Deepak, and due to the same, Somri Devi was abused by Deepak and later on Somri Devi committed suicide. 5. It has also been submitted that the petitioners are languishing in judicial custody since 12.08.2025 and they have no criminal antecedents, as such, the present petitioners may be enlarged on bail. 6. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the opposite party-State has seriously opposed the prayer for grant of bail. 7. This Court has heard the learned counsel for the parties. 8. This court is of the view that as the accused persons are languishing in custody since 12.08.2025 and with having no criminal antecedents as well as no other incriminating material has been found there in course of the investigation, the present application deserves to be allowed. 9. Accordingly, the instant bail application stands allowed. 10. In consequence thereof, the petitioners named above, are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- 2026:JHHC:4894 Page | 3 (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Ramgarh in connection with Patratu (Bhurkunda) P.S.

In failure, the learned trial court is at liberty to take appropriate steps in accordance with law so that the trial be not hindered.
