Act and Section 17 of the C.L.A. Act.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation
against the petitioner is that the petitioner as a member of banned
militant group namely CPI Maoists organization and there was exchange
of fire with the raiding police team, but no one sustained injuries in the
said occurrence. It is next submitted that the allegations against the
petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the exchange of fire
continued for half an hour. It is also submitted that no witness has been
examined in this case. It is further submitted that the petitioner
undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes
that he will not annoy or disturb the informant/victim or the witnesses of
the case in any manner during the trial of the case. It is next submitted
that the co-accused persons have been granted bail by the co-ordinate
bench of this Court vide order dated 06.10.2025 in B.A. No.9076 of 2025. It
is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedents as has
been mentioned in para-14 of this bail application. It is lastly submitted
that the petitioner has been in custody since 13.07.2025 as is evident
from para-10 of this bail application. Hence, it is submitted that the
petitioner be admitted to bail.
The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as
discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on
bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on
furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with
two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned
Additional Sessions Judge-III, Latehar in connection with Chhipadohar
P.S. Case No.14 of 2020 corresponding to S.T. Case No.157 of 2022 with
the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the
case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar
Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number
during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not
annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any
