Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed murder of Jena Ram Purty. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and only because the petitioner is the brother-in-law (Devar) of Sini Purty with whom the deceased was having illicit relationship and on earlier occasion, the petitioner chided the deceased not to have illicit relationship with Sini Purty, hence, on that ground, suspicion is raised against the petitioner that the petitioner might have committed death of the deceased. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that during the trial, four witnesses including the informant has been examined in this case and except suspicion, there is no 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 14 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 13.05.2025, as mentioned in para 1 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 Additional Sessions Judge-I, West Singhbhum at Chaibasa in connection with Manjhari P.S.
