The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. No. 118 of 2024 arising out of R.I.T. P.S. Case No.20 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 302/201/411/471/379 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner files the supplementary affidavit. Keep the same in the record. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this is the third journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail and earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected twice. It is next submitted that the prayer for bail of the petitioner was last rejected vide order dated 28.03.2025 in B.A. No. 2504 of 2025 by taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has confessed his guilt and on the basis of his confession, the stone used in crushing the head of the deceased and the belt used in strangulating the deceased were recovered. It is next submitted that the fresh ground is that the I.O. has been examined on 25.08.2025 by the trial court and he had deposed that, on getting the information that the dead body of Sonaram is lying on the backside of Bondih company at Krishnapur, they witness Savitri along with her husband and villagers went to the place of occurrence and found a light yellow colour belt made of cloth was on the neck of the dead body and at a distance, blood stained big boulder weighing about 25 kg was lying and such evidence of the I.O. rules out the petitioner leading to discovery of the alleged weapon of offence. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 18.03.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 05 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. 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 abovenamed 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 Sessions Judge, Seraikella, in connection with S.T. No. 118 of 2024 arising out of R.I.T. P.S.
