03/Dated:-25.02.2026

¶12

1. Heard learned counsel for the parties.

¶13

2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Section 302 of I.P.C.

¶14

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and he has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He further submits that charge has already been framed on 05.03.2024 and out of 8 charge-sheeted witnesses only 4 have been examined and none of them have supported the case of the prosecution. He further submits that the petitioner for no offence has been languishing in custody since 18.10.2023; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. He submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition as imposed by this court.

¶15

4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

¶16

5. Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the stage of trial coupled with the fact that out of 8 charge-sheeted witnesses, only 4 witnesses have been examined as such, there is no likelihood of early conclusion of trial and the petitioner is in custody since 18.10.2023; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge this 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 Addl. Sessions Judge-I-cumSpecial Judge, Lohardaga in connection with Kuru P.S. Case No. 163/22 corresponding to S.T. Case No.30/2024.

¶17

6. It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witnesses and shall cooperate in trial and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
