The case is presently pending before the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Latehar.
Heard learned counsel representing the petitioner and learned A.P.P. representing the State. Perused the material available on record and also gone through the impugned order.
Learned counsel representing the petitioner submits that neither the petitioner is named in the F.I.R., nor the Test Identification Parade (TIP) has been conducted. He also submits that the only material against the petitioner is his antecedent. He submits that charge-sheet has been submitted in this case. He lastly submits that co-accused namely Mukesh Kumar and Bablu Kumar have already been enlarged on bail by the Coordinate 1 Benches of this Court vide orders dated 14.01.2026 (in B.A. No.11283 of 2025) and 11.02.2026 (in B.A. No.12024 of 2025) respectively.
Learned A.P.P. representing the opposite party – State, opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the aforesaid submission coupled with the fact that charge-sheet has already been submitted in this case and the above-named co-accused have already been enlarged on bail by the Coordinate Benches of this Court, I am inclined to release this petitioner on bail.
