Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and he has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He further submits that no incriminating article has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and only on the allegation that the location of the telephone of the petitioner was around the place of occurrence, the petitioner has been arrested and also the TIP was done after one year. He further submits that the petitioner for no offence has been languishing in custody since 29.09.2025; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. He submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition as imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegations made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that no incriminating article has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and the petitioner has been taken into custody on the basis of telephone tower location and also that the petitioner is in custody since 29.09.2025; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned CJM, Gumla in connection with Gumla P.S.
