.....
3/ 24.2.2011
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that there is no
direct circumstantial evidence against the petitioner.
The learned Public Prosecutor is not in a position to dispute the
aforesaid proposition. However, he says that the petitioner was responsible
for pressurizing the deceased . That cannot be considered to be a factor
where the petitioner can be held responsible for the crime in question. Two
accused persons , who are similarly situated, have already been granted
bail by this Court.
In that view of the matter, the petitioner is also entitled to be
enlarged on bail. Accordingly, it is ordered that the petitioner (Pintu Yadav)
shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten
thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of
learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dhanbad in connection with Dhanbad
(Saraidhela) PS Case No. 841 of 2009 (G.R.No.3259 of 2009 ), subject to the
condition that he will report to the concerned police station once in a
month, failing which his bail bond shall be liable to be cancelled.
