It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that as a matter of fact, due to clerical error, the criminal antecedent of the petitioner was left to be typed in bail application before the Sessions Judge.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhabua (Kaimur) in connection with Mohania P.S.
