Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3298 of 2025(3) dt.19-04-2025 2/3 this case. The petitioner has no workshop or factory at Kolhapur and it is not believable that the parents of the children would allow the petitioner to take their children for working in some factory at a far away place rather the fathers of the children have filed affidavit to the effect that their sons were going with the petitioner to visit Kolhapur and not to work there. Therefore, the petitioner has been implicated in this case merely on suspicion. Learned senior counsel further submits that moreover, the children are aged about 15 years and it is not a case of child labour. Learned senior counsel further submits that the petitioner is having clean antecedent and he is in custody since 15.10.2024. Charge-sheet has been submitted.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the period of custody of the petitioner along with submission of charge-sheet, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the
