After two months of incident, an application was moved by Jhagadu Nishad before S.O. concerned alleging that Monu Gond, Shivkumar Gond, Sonu Gond, Satish Gond and Vijayi Gond were also indulged in this crime.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that coaccused namely Shiv Kumar Gond has been granted bail by coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 26.7.2018 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 24370 of 2018, since the role of the applicant is not distinguishable with the role of coaccused, therefore, the applicant is also entitled for bail. Applicant was not named in the F.I.R. After two months of incident, the name of applicant was surfaced. The applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is not clear from prosecution case, who was author of that injury due to which he died. There are general allegations against all accused persons.

Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid fact as argued by learned counsel for the applicant and admitted that applicant has no criminal history and the case of present applicant is identical to co-accused Shiv Kumar Gond who has been enlarged on bail.
Considering the submission of learned counsel for the parties, facts of the case, nature of allegation and period of custody, gravity of offence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for bail. Hence, the bail application is hereby allowed.
