The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Kisko P.S.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner along with the co-accused persons assembled to make preparation to commit dacoity, but on seeing the police personnel, the petitioner fled away while the co-accused Saddam Hussain, Shakil Ansari and Salman Ansari were apprehended by the police and from the possession of Saddam Hussain, 01 country made pistol and live cartridges were recovered and 01 musket gun was recovered which was kept concealed. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of Saddam Hussain; to be one of his associates and the petitioner managed to flee away seeing the police. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.09 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 01.06.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no.08 of the bail application. It is also submitted that the co-accused has already been granted bail by the co-ordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 17.01.2025 in B.A. No.269 of 2025. 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 J.M.-1st Class, Lohardaga, in connection with Kisko P.S.
