Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that allegation has been levelled against Sushil Kumar that he opened fire injuring Bikram Kumar. He further submits that although in course of the investigation, it has been stated that he was sitting on the motorcycle, no role has been attributed to him.

No. 12765 of 2021 on 5.7.2021.
Considering the aforesaid facts that specific role has not been attributed to the petitioner, charge-sheet has been submitted, he is in jail since 27.3.2021 and the person, Sushil Kumar, against whom allegation of firing was levelled has since been released on bail; this Court is inclined to grant him the privilege of bail.
Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Muzaffarpur, in connection with Bela P.S. Case No. 39 of 2019 subject to the following conditions:-

With the aforesaid observation, the bail application is allowed.
