The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners were taking 04 bovine animals for their illegal slaughtering. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.11 of this bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 14.07.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no.01 of the bail application. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertake that they 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 petitioners be admitted to bail. The learned Spl. 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 petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned CJM, Simdega in connection with Simdega P.S. Case No.96 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the trial of the case, with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
