that petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case due to dirty village politics. He has committed no offence. Petitioner is not named in the FIR. The name of the petitioner has come into light, on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused Sanjay Kumar Keshari @ Chiku, which has got no evidentiary value in the eyes of law. Nothing incriminating article has recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. He is languishing in judicial custody since 10.09.2022.
The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for
the State.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned A.C.J.M.-VI, Patna City, Patna in connection with Bypass P.S. Case No. 372 of 2022.
