It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners are ready and willing to co- operate with the trial of the case and undertake not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case, hence, the petitioners may be admitted to bail. Learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the informant opposes the prayer for bail. Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioners on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioners on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lakhs) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Dhanbad in connection with Govindpur P.S.
