4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is false and fabricated. Although the petitioner is named in the FIR but from bare perusal of the FIR it appears that there is no specific allegation of assault or overt act attributed against the petitioner and only allegation against the petitioner is that he threatened the informant of dire consequences before the alleged incident. He further submits that the police after investigation submitted the charge sheet against the petitioner and the petitioner is in custody since 19.01.2026.
5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and petitioner carries twelve criminal antecedents other than the present one but fairly submits on the basis of paragraph-3 of the bail application that the petitioner is on bail in the said matters.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned C.J.M., Munger in connection with Kasim Bazar P.S.
