At the very outset, learned counsel for the applicant seeks permission to delete the name of the applicant no. 2 from the array of parties as she has already filed separate bail application. 4. Prayer aforesaid is allowed. He may do so during course of day. 5. Now the application survives only in respect of applicant no. 1-Smt. Ranu@Kusma. 6. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that applicant is innocent and she has been falsely implicated in this case and she has been languishing in jail since 25.12.2025. It is further submitted that name of the applicant has surfaced in the confessional statement of co-accused Ujail Babu. It is further submitted that co-accused Pushpa and Shyamkali have already been granted bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Durga Prasad Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.

Gita has also been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 17.4.2026 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 12910 of 2026. It is also submitted that no specific role has been assigned to the applicant and none of the injuries has been found to be dangerous to life. It is also submitted that the applicant undertakes that she will not misuse the liberty, if granted. It has also been pointed out that in the wake of heavy pendency of cases in the Court, there is no likelihood of any early conclusion of trial. 7.
On the other hand, learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant. 8. Co-accused Pushpa and Shyamkali have already been granted bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court and another co-accused Smt. Gita has also been granted bail by this Court and name of the applicant has surfaced in the confessional statement of co-accused Ujail Babu. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant and none of the injuries of the police personnel has been found to be dangerous to life. 9. Upon considering the totality of facts, nature and the evidence reflected from record and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for bail. Hence, the present bail application is ALLOWED. 10.
