Drawing attention of this Court towards para-11 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is next submitted that the post-mortem report goes to show that there is no ante-mortem injury found on the dead body of the deceased and the opinion regarding the cause of death has been kept reserved pending the Viscera Report but the Viscera Report has not yet been obtained. It is further submitted that the absence of any external ante-mortem injury on the dead body, falsifies the claim of the informant that the petitioner and the co-accused brutally assaulted the deceased. It is also submitted that the co-accused, with similar allegations, has already been admitted to bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 29.05.2026 passed in B.A. (Filing) No.10790 of 2026.

It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 18.11.2025 as has been mentioned in para-01 of the instant bail application. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the facts of this case, the above-named petitioner is directed to be enlarged 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 Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Jamshedpur in connection with M.G.M.
