RANCHI, India, June 28 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on June 3:
1. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 324, 326, 307, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence rather he has been falsely implicated in this case due to previous enmity. No weapon has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. He further submits that the informant has stated that the petitioner has criminal antecedent but impugned order shows that petitioner has no criminal antecedent and for no offence, he is languishing in custody since 27.05.2024. As such, he may be enlarged on bail.
4. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail.
5. Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegation made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that the charge has been framed against the petitioner on 29.09.2024 and still no prosecution witness has been examined as such there is no chance of early conclusion of trial. I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner named above is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-VIII, Jamshedpur.
6. It is made clear that till commencement of trial the petitioner shall report to the local police station every month and after commencement of trial, he shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witnesses and shall co-operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against the petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
