Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

Petitioner   has   been   made   accused   for   the   offence   under   Sections 
147/148/149/435/436/342/379/457/458 of the Indian Penal Code, 3/ 4 of the 
Explosive Substance Act and 17 of the CLA Act in connection with Gomia P. S. 
Case No. 27 of 2004 corresponding to G. R. Case No. 355 of 2004.

According   to   the   F.I.R.,   there   is   allegation   against   unknown   250­300 
persons,   belonging   to   MCC,   variously   armed   with   deadly   weapons,   to   have 
attacked the house of the informant and looted away household property and to 
have damaged the house by dynamite.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely 
implicated   in   this   case   and   there   is   no   recovery   from   the   possession   of   this 
petitioner.   Petitioner   has   been   named   in   this   case   only   on   the   basis   of   the 
confessional statement of co­accused. Impugned order supports the contention of 
the learned counsel.

In the facts and circumstances, I am inclined to release the petitioner on 
bail. Accordingly, the petitioner Jagdish Mahto is directed to be released on bail, 
on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/­ (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties 
of   like   amount   each   to   the   satisfaction   of   learned  Additional   Chief   Judicial 
Magistrate, Bermo at Tenughat in connection with Gomia P. S.   Case No. 27 of 
2004 corresponding to G. R. Case No. 355 of 2004.
