It is further submitted that charge sheet has been submitted in this case and one witness namely Vishnu Rai has been examined during the trial but he has not stated anything to implicate the petitioner in this case.

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. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person with similar allegation has already been admitted to bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 26.05.2026 in B.A. No.4549 of 2026.
