APP (SJ) No.5103 of 2019(3) dt.02-06-2020 2/2 Perusal of impugned order goes to show that except the confessional statement of co-accused Avinash Kumar, there was nothing before the learned Special Judge to form an opinion about the involvement of the appellant in the alleged crime.

Appeal (SJ) No. 4995 of 2019.

In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, this appeal is allowed and impugned order dated 01.10.2019 passed by learned Special Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, Begusarai is, hereby, set aside. Accordingly, appellant, above named, is directed to 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 learned Special Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, Begusarai in connection with Matihani P.S.
