4.

It is also submitted that petitioner was not even present at the place of occurrence, but since he carries two antecedent, as such, he came to be implicated by the police. It is further submitted that Chandan Kumar, Binay Yadav and Krishna Mohan Kumar had approached this Court seeking regular bail by filing Cr. Misc. No.78291 of 2025, Cr. Misc. No.83058 of 2025 and Cr. Misc. No.87904 of 2025 and the same came to be allowed by an order dated 03.12.2025, 10.12.2025 and 22.12.2025 respectively passed by the learned Coordinate Bench. It is thus submitted that persons in whose confession the name of the petitioner transpired have been released on regular bail, as such, no useful purpose would be served by sending the petitioner to jail.
