Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner committed murder of Krishna Dangi only because Krishna Dangi was having illicit relationship with the daughter-in-law of the petitioner, hence, the wife of Krishna Dangi has implicated the petitioner in this case. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and there is no eye witness of the occurrence and except the confessional statement of the petitioner and suspicion, there is no other material in the record to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as mentioned in paragraph 12 of the bail application and he has been in jail custody since 27.05.2026, as mentioned in para 11 of this bail application. It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready and willing to co- operate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case hence, the petitioner may be admitted to bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for bail. Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioner 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 J.M. 1st Class, Hazaribagh in connection with Katkamsandi P.S.
