¶9

When the matter is called out, both the learned counsels have appeared.. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence. He further submits that FIR was filed against unknown person and name of this petitioner has come during the investigation of the case. Petitioner was posted as Deputy Manager, SBI, Shikaripara and the alleged offence belongs to the SBI, Branch Barharwa, Sahibganj where he was never posted. Only there is confession of the petitioner which has no value in the eye of law. He further states that nothing incriminating has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. He further states that one of the co-accused, namely, Anwar Ansari @ Antar Ansari has been granted bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 28.7.2022 passed in BA No. 5786 of 2022 and the case of the petitioner is on similar footing. Hence, the petitioner may also be released on bail.

¶10

Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail and submits that after lodging of this case, one another case of same nature has been lodged against the petitioner which shows that he is habitual criminal. Therefore, he does not deserve bail.

¶11

Having heard both counsels, gone through the records of the case and in the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to release the petitioner, named above, 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 Judicial Magistrate, Rajmahal, in connection with Barharwa PS Case No. 490 of 2019, corresponding to GR Case No. 2679 of 2019, subject to the condition that petitioner shall report to the concerned police station on every last Saturday of the month, between 01:00 and 05:00 p.m. for one year, failing which or if any adverse remarks regarding his non- appearance at the police station, his bail-bond shall be liable to be cancelled. Any exemption to such attendance shall be done so after direction from the learned Court below.
