The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner while quarreling with Sinku Dubey fired upon him but accidently the bullet hit the ankle of an eight years old boy namely Vivek Kumar. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has no intention to kill anyone. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –12 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 05.06.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is further 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 above-named 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 S.D.J.M., Palamau, in connection with Chainpur P.S.
