The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Chhipadohar P.S. Case No.37 of 2022 registered for the offences punishable under sections 302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed the murder of Chotan Bhuiyan. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and except the confessional statement of the co-accused –Sabita Kumari @ Savita Devi @ Sonu, there is no other material in the record to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.18 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 20.06.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 18 of the bail application. 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 also submitted that though charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner but no witness has been examined in this case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by this Court vide order dated 05.10.2026 in B.A. No. 9264 of 2026. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. 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 above-named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released 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 S.D.J.M., Latehar, in connection with Chhipadohar P.S.
