1.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent State.

2.

This application has been filed for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in connection with Mango P.S. Case No.245 of 2024,  corresponding  to  S.T.  Case  No.43  of  2025,  registered  for  the offence under sections 191(1), 191(3), 190, 126(2), 127(2), 103(1), 109,  118(1),  117(2),  118(2),  324(4),  324(5),  352,  351(2),  351(3), 61(2) of BNS, 2023 and section 27 of Arms Act, pending in court of learned Additional Sessions Judge III, East Singhbhum, Jamshedpur. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits  that  on  his  own  confessional  statement  of  the  petitioner  and the  confessional  statement  of  the  coaccused  it  is  established  that  the petitioner was present at the place of occurrence. She submits that the petitioner has fired on the waist of the deceased whereas coaccused namely Mohanti Singh Sardar shot the deceased on his head resulting in his death. She further submits that the Mohanti Singh Sardar  has  been granted  bail in  B.A. No.3300 of  2025 by the coordinate Bench of this Court. She next submits that now the charge has also been framed and however till date no witness has been examined. She next submits that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in paragraph no.14 and the petitioner is in custody since 06.09.2024.

4.

The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent State opposed the prayer of regular bail of the petitioner  and  submits  that  allegation  of  firing  is  there  against  the petitioner.

5.

Considering that the  petitioner  has  fired shot  on  the waist of the deceased and the coaccused namely Mohanti Singh Sardar  has  fired  shot  on  the  head  of  the  deceased  resulting  to  his death and he has been granted regular bail by the coordinate Bench and the charge has already been  framed and till date no witness has been examined and  petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in paragraph no.14 and the petitioner is in custody since 06.09.2024, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

6.

Accordingly, petitioner, above named, is hereby directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand),  with two sureties  of like amount each, to satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge  III,  East  Singhbhum,  Jamshedpur,  in  connection  with  Mango P.S.
