¶14

Allegation in nutshell is that petitioner along with other accused persons accosted the informant and his staff and demanded extortion amount of Rs. 5 lakhs and when the informant refused to fulfill the demand made by the accused persons, the co-accused / Md. Rabban fired a bullet on the informant but it did not hit him and when his staff tried to intervene in the matter, the petitioner fired on him due to which he sustained injury near the neck.

¶16

Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case on the basis of a concocted story and there is delay of about two days in lodging the First Information Report. He further submits that incident as stated in the FIR by the informant has not taken place in the manner alleged and the fact of the matter is that petitioner had purchased a piece of land from the co-accused / Md. Rabban by way of sale deed which has been annexed as Annexure 2 to this application. He further submits that the informant wanted to purchase the said land because another land of the informant is situated beside the land purchased by the petitioner and on the date of occurrence the informant along with others had arrived at the land purchased by the petitioner and they wanted to grab the same due to which some scuffle had taken place between the parties. He further submits that petitioner has got no criminal antecedent and he is in custody since 2 / 2 / 2021, investigation has already completed and charge sheet has already been submitted .

¶17

Regard being had to the submissions made by the parties and taking into consideration the materials available on record, the fact that petitioner has got no criminal antecedent, there appears to be dispute with regard to purchase of land

¶19

between the parties, petitioner is in custody since 2 – 2 – 2021 , charge sheet has already been submitted and trial is not likely to be concluded in near future due to Covid 19 pandemic, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

¶20

Accordingly, let the petitioner, above named, be released on regular bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20000/(twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Khagaria in connection with Alauli P.S. Case No. 111 of 2020.
