Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.13653 of 2022(3) dt.14-09-2022 2/3
Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not named in the FIR and he is not involved in the occurrence in any manner. The petitioner has been named in this case on the basis of confessional statement of the coaccused Aman Kumar. The allegation against this petitioner is that he employed another co-accused Suraj Kumar for making the murderous attempt on the informant. The co-accused Suraj Kumar is a minor and it is not believable that he would make any such attempt. So, except for the confessional statement, there is nothing against this petitioner. He is in custody since 24.09.2021 and is having clean antecedent. The charge sheet has been submitted in this case. The named co-accused Rajiv Singh has been granted bail by the learned court below.
Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail submitting that the name of the petitioner came up during investigation and he was the mastermind behind the attempt on the life of the informant.
Perused the records.
Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submission made hereinabove and considering the fact that there appears no substantive piece of material against this petitioner on the record to connect him with the occurrence
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.13653 of 2022(3) dt.14-09-2022 3/3
except for some communication on mobile phone and further considering the submission of charge sheet and the period of custody of the petitioner, he is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Sub Judge-10, Patna in connection with Kadamkuan P.S.
