The petitioner was not named in the F.I.R. and he has been implicated in the case based on confessional statement made before the police during the course of investigation by one Raj Sagar @ Hanni Singh.

By an order of this Court dated 11.05.2022, a report was called for from the Court below as regards present stage of the trial. A report has accordingly been received from learned A.D.J.-V, Vaishali at Hajipur dated 16.06.2022 from which it transpires that the case is pending for framing of charge and on rejoinder upon a discharge petition on behalf of the co-accused Raj Sagar.

Mr. Rajesh Kumar Singh, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that he has been taken on remand in other cases after his implication in the present case on the basis of confessional statement made before the police.

Be that as it may, considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 24.09.2018, and till date even the charge has not been framed, a case for grant of regular bail is made out. This application is accordingly allowed. Let the petitioner, above-named, be released on bail
