Having regard to the aforesaid facts of the case and looking to the allegation made against this petitioner, coupled with the fact that other co-accused, Haldar Munda has been granted bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this 2026:JHHC:6919 2 Court and also the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 14.05.2025; I am inclined to enlarge the Petitioner on bail.
