Heard the parties. The petitioners have been made accused in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No. 159 of 2021 (S.T. Case No. 111 of 2026 & G.R.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners are that the petitioners were members of an unlawful assembly of the members of the banned extremist JJMP organisation and attempted to murder police personas by opening fire upon them and during the firing the extremists were taking name of each other; on the basis of which the petitioners have been implicated in this case. It is submitted that charge sheet has already been submitted against the petitioners. The petitioners have criminal antecedent of similar nature as mentioned in the impugned order. It is next submitted that the petitioners have been in custody since 06.01.2026 as stated in para 5 of the bail application. It is next submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners are ready and willing to co-
operate with the trial of the case and undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant or the other witnesses of the case in any manner during trial of the case, hence, the petitioners may be admitted to regular bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposed the prayer for regular bail. Considering submissions of learned counsels and the facts as stated above, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the court below is directed to release the petitioner on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- each (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Latehar in connection with Chandwa P.S.
