The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner extended his assistance with the co-accused person in disposing of the looted vehicle whose driver was killed by the co-accused persons after abduction. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioner of abduction or committing murder of the driver of the vehicle concerned. It is also submitted that no T.I.P. was conducted in respect of the petitioner. 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/victim or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.

It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 11.08.2025 as is evident from para-08 of this bail application. 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 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-II, Garhwa in connection with Garhwa P.S.
