He further submits that charge-sheet dated 30.12.2025 has already been submitted and the petitioners are having no criminal antecedents and the petitioners for no offence have been languishing in custody since 04.12.2025; as such, the petitioners may be enlarged on bail.

Having regard to the fact that the cause of death was due to drowning and the admitted fact is that apart from the victim, three other persons, after taking liquor went into the pond and the victim died due to drowning coupled with the fact that the petitioners are having no criminal antecedents and the petitioners are in custody since 04.12.2025; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge these petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Jamshedpur in connection with Parsudih P.S.
