Heard learned counsel for the parties.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it was after one year
that the petitioner was arrested. In the First Information Report, the name
of the petitioner has come on the basis of the statement of police officer
who was not known to the petitioner. No T.I.P was conducted. In these
circumstances, according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, it
cannot be said with definiteness that the petitioner was involved in the
crime.
Learned Public Prosecutor agrees that the Constable who named the
petitioner had no occasion to identify him before T.I.P is conducted.
In that view of the matter, this Court considers appropriate to
enlarge the petitioner, above named, on bail on furnishing bail bond of
Rs.10,000/ with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bermo at Tenughat in connection
with Mahuatand P.S. Case No. 52 of 2009 corresponding to G.R. No. 954
of 2009, subject to the condition that the petitioner shall report to the
concerned Police Station once in a month, failing which his bail bond shall
be liable to be cancelled.
