The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report, is that one iron-made fighter punch has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner.

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case along with other accused persons, alleging that they were making preparation for committing dacoity. He next submits that only

He further submits that the petitioner is in custody since 01.07.2021, having no criminal antecedent of similar nature of offence, and charge sheet has already been submitted against him and as such there is no likelihood that the petitioner will abscond and/or tamper with the evidence. Regards being had to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the materials on record and the fact that charge sheet has already been submitted and the petitioner is in custody since 01.07.2021, having no criminal antecedent of similar nature of offence, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. This application is, accordingly, allowed.

Let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail, upon 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, Begusarai, in connection with Sahebpur Kamal Police Station Case No. 145 of 2021.
