Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the period of custody of the petitioner coupled with the fact that charge-sheet has been submitted but till date no witness has been examined; I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, 2026:JHHC:7596 2 Khunti, in connection with Karra P.S.
