Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Standing Counsel.

¶16

The petitioner is in custody since 23.08.2021 in connection with Puruna Kataka P.S. Case No.19 of 2021 corresponding to C.T. Case No.19 of 2021 of the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Harabhanga for the alleged commission of offence under Sections 294/341/506/326/307 of IPC read with Sections 25 and 27 of Arms Act.

case has been committed to the Court of Sessions for trial.

¶21

Learned Addl. Standing Counsel has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the petitioner willfully fired his gun solely with intention to cause the death of the victim, which caused grievous injuries.

¶22

Considering the submissions made, the materials on record, period of detention already undergone and the fact that the case has already been committed to the Court of Sessions, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Let the petitioner be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the court in seisin over the matter may deem fit and proper to impose including the condition that he shall personally appear before the trial court on each date of posting of the case without fail.

¶23

BLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
