The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons has committed the murder of Fakade Oraon. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner is not named in the FIR and he has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused -Dinesh Oraon and later on his own confessional statement. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.15 of the bail application.

It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail.

The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.

Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Gumla, in connection with Bharno P.S.
