No.11512 of 2018 (3) dt.30-03-2018 2/3 petitioner that he is innocent, not named in the First Information Report and just because he has a criminal antecedent, in which most of the cases are old matters, he has been made accused in the present case.

He further submits that charge-sheet has already been submitted and there is no allegation of tampering of the prosecution witnesses by the petitioner. However, learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for bail stating therein that the petitioner is a habitual offender and three more cases of similar nature and one of serious nature are pending against him.

Considering the facts and circumstances and the materials on record and the period of custody, let petitioner, above named, 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, East Champaran at Motihari, in connection with Chakia P.S.
