Petitioner submits he was a candidate in the Panchayat election in 2023 and out of political rivalry he has been falsely implicated in a series of cases. He is in custody for 185 days. He prays for bail.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the bail prayer. 3.

We have considered the materials on record. Though petitioner has criminal antecedents, it is possible that he has been falsely tagged in these cases due to his political affiliation. Investigation is complete. There is no chance of abscondence. 4.

Under such circumstances we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

5.

Accordingly, the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM Jhargram on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.
