2. The petitioners have prayed for bail in connection with Cheutaha P.S. Case No. 11 of 2024 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 302, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.82669 of 2024(3) dt.30-01-2025 2/3 committed the murder of the deceased Dhruv Sah.
4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has submitted that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case. It is further submitted that from perusal of the case diary, it is clear that even no motive has been imputed against the petitioners and why they will kill, the reason is also not clear from the diary. It has also been submitted that all three are labourers and they have gone to collect their wages. From perusal of the postmortem report, it transpires that the cause of death is asphyxia due to throttling. From perusal of the entire diary, only this fact has come that the petitioners were seen with Dhruv Sah while going to collect wages. Except this, there is nothing agaisnt the petitioners. A statement has been made in para 3 of the petition that petitioners have no criminal antecedent. They are languishing in judicial custody since 16.06.2024.
5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the informant.
6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. The above named
