As per the prosecution story, the son of the informant went outside, consumed country made liquor, fell ill and ultimately died. Accordingly, the FIR.
Subsequently, during investigation, the name of one Arbind Yadav cropped up, was arrested and on his confession, the name of the petitioner also came in.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.17747 of 2023(4) dt.16-08-2023 2/3 application) and some of the similar placed co-accuseds have since been released on bail.
Learned APP for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail stating that he has 25 criminal cases under his belt and as such, his case is different from the other co-accused who have been granted bail.
Considering the aforesaid submissions as also some of the co-accuseds have since been granted bail, as reflects from paragraph 11 of the petition though he has criminal antecedent of more than two dozen cases, this Court is inclined to extend him privilege of after framing of the charges.

(iii) the petitioner shall appear before the concerned police station every month till the conclusion of the trial to mark attendance;
(iv) the petitioner shall in no way try to induce or promise or threat the witnesses or tamper with the evidences, failing which the State shall be at liberty to take steps for cancellation of his bail bonds;
