Learned counsel of the petitioner further points out that in course of trial, informant was examined as prosecution witness but he did not name the petitioner which is evident from perusal of impugned order dated 12.07.2019 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge-III, Munger in Sessions Trial No. 151 of 2018.

¶16

No doubt, there appears to be serious allegation of kidnapping and murder but taking note of above stated facts as well as submissions of the parties, I think it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-III, Munger in connection with Nayaram Nagar P.S. Case No. 23 of 2017 corresponding to Sessions Trial No. 151 of 2018.

¶17

However, it is made clear that if the petitioner fails to make available sureties due to lockdown as well as due to prevailing situation, the concerned court shall release the petitioner provisionally on personal bond with condition that
