The bail application is opposed by learned APP for the State who submits that the applicant has been assigned with a specific role of catching hold of the injured persons and that noting the situs of the injury Section 307 was added. He also submits that the cross examination of the said witnesses is pending and the applicant has been in custody since 01.03.2023. Mr. Jha, on instruction, confirms that the applicant is not involved in any other case. 4. I have heard the Ld. counsels for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the aforesaid and the age of the accused, further the fact that the role attributed to him in commission of offence is only of catching hold and that he did not misuse the concession of interim bail earlier, this Court deems it fit to release the applicant on regular bail subject to him furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned Jail Superintendent/concerned Court/Duty J.M. and subject to the following further conditions:-
