The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons attempted to murder C. Gopal Reddy. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the main allegation is against the co- accused Rahul Kumar Mandal and the only allegation against the petitioner is that he helped the co-accused –Rahul Kumar Mandal who fired upon the victim causing gunshot injury on his thigh. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –13 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 29.09.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 16 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and also undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or 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. and the learned counsel for the informant 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 Sessions Judge, Dhanbad, in connection with S.T.
