Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons have committed murder of Saddhu Singh. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that only because the petitioners earlier threatened the deceased, hence, they have been implicated in this case, only on the basis of the said suspicion. It is further submitted that there is no eye witness to the occurrence and except suspicion, there is no other material to implicate the petitioners in this case. It is next submitted that the co- accused has already been granted bail by the co-ordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 16.03.2026 in B.A. No.1506 of 2026. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedents as has been mentioned in para-19 of this bail application. It is also submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will co-operate with the trial of the case and will not annoy or disturb the informant or witnesses of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 17.10.2025
as is evident from para-25 of the instant bail application. Hence it is submitted that the petitioners be released on bail.
Learned Addl.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the facts of this case, the above-named petitioners are
directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Palamu at Daltonganj in connection with Chhattarpur P.S.
