As per prosecution case, there is allegation against the petitioner and others for making firing of 10-12 round with intention to kill the informant.

¶15

¶17

that petitioner is the neighbour of the informant and there is case and counter case between both the parties. He further submits that allegation of firing is general and omnibus as per FIR petitioner is the member of mob and from the perusal of the FIR it appears that no one sustained injury. He further submits that it is highly improbable that after making firing of 10-12 round no one sustained injury which itself falsifies the case of the prosecution.

¶18

The learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

¶19

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, period of custody, charge sheet has been submitted in the case and there is no likelihood of tampering with the prosecution evidence, argument advanced on behalf of both sides and also taking into consideration the material available on record, let the petitioner above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai in connection with Begusarai Town (Ratanpur O.P.)

mother or sister or brother or wife or the person who has sworn the affidavit in bail application.

¶23

(ii) Petitioner will co-operate in trial and will remain present on all dates and absence for two consecutive dates without appropriate permission, would be a ground for cancellation of bail by the learned Trial court itself.
