The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the co-accused persons committed theft in the jewellery shop and took away 300 grams of silver and cash of Rs.4,000/-. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the allegation against the petitioner is of purchasing the stolen silver ornaments. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of the co- accused-Babloo Kumar Ram @ Bhatia @ Babloo Ram who has already been admitted to bail and other co-accused persons have also been admitted to bail. It is next submitted that though charge sheet has already been submitted in this case but no witness has been examined till date. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 22.01.2026, 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 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) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.S.J.-I, Bokaro, in connection with S.T.
