They faced trial for offence under Sections 302/120B of Indian Penal Code. He also submits that there is no eyewitness to the occurrence. 5. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail and has submitted that the petitioner has confessed his guilt before the police and the co-accused (husband) has stated that his wife was having illicit relationship with the present petitioner. It is not in dispute that there is no eyewitness to the alleged occurrence. 6. After hearing the learned counsels for the parties and considering the fact that there is no eyewitness to the alleged occurrence coupled with the fact that the name of the petitioner apparently cropped up on the basis of confessional statement, the 2026:JHHC:28606 2 petitioner is directed to be enlarged 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 the learned Addl.
