Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Sessions Trial No. 213 of 2019 arising out of Maranghada P. S. case no. 01 of 2019 (G.R. No. 146 of 2019) instituted under Section 302/34 of IPC.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of the common intention with the co-accused persons, was involved in murder of the son of the informant namely Mochirai Munda. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and none of the three witnesses during the trial, is the eye witness of the occurrence. It is further submitted by
learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion and previous enmity. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 25.02.20219, as mentioned in para 8 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. It is next submitted that the co- accused with similar allegations have already been admitted on bail by this Court as well as by co-ordinate Bench of this court hence, the petitioner may be admitted to regular bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for regular 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 Sessions Judge, Khunti in connection with Sessions Trial No. 213 of 2019 arising out of Maranghada P. S. case no. 01 of 2019 (G.R. No. 146 of 2019) with the condition that the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant or the other witness of the case in any manner during trial of the case and will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish mobile phone number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change the mobile phone number during the trial of the case.
