                                3. The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the

                   informant lives with her family members in village Gavdi P.S.

                   Chakai, District- Jamui. In her village the group of Surangda

                   and Sikoda used to come quite often and stay in the village and

                   informant recognized regular members of Naxal Dasta who are

          Ishwar Rana and Govind Mandal, Tejo Mandal, Ramesh

          Morwadi, Baso Mandal, Yogesheswar Mandal, Suresh Suri,

          Jamuna Singh (petitioner) and about 20 naxals came to her

          house and took her husband to nearby hut of Tejo mandal which

          was about 50 feet from her house. In the hut Naxals had kept

          one Mukesh Rai in captive and enquiring about his role as spy

          and also assaulting him. The further case of informant is that at

          about 12:30 in the night sound of cry was heard and then she

          saw that the Naxals had cut the head of three persons with

          Kulhari. The Naxals were also speaking that they have taken

          revenge of Chirag Da. In the morning the informant saw the

          dead body of Joginder Turi and Mukesh Rai and 10 feet away

          on the road the dead body of her husband Tipan mandal was

          lying and in his hand Naxali parcha was also lying. The Cause

          of action for the present occurrence as per the informant is that

          Tejo mandal of her village used to cut jungle with the help of

          naxalites and her husband and other two deceased were

          opposing cutting of jungle and they had also got Tejo Mandal

          apprehended by the police and for that naxals had threatened the

          informant.

          petitioner has clean antecedent and is innocent and he has

          falsely been implicated in the present case. It is further

          submitted that the allegation as alleged in the FIR is forged and

          fabricated and the petitioner has not committed any offence as

          alleged in the FIR. Learned counsel for the petitioner next

          submits that the petitioner has been made an accused in the

          present case merely on the ground that he has opposed the

          activity of the deceased person. It is next submitted that the

          deceased person belongs to the naxalite group. Learned counsel

          for the petitioner further submits that for the same set of

          allegation, co-accused persons, namely, Ramesh Marandi and

          Baso Mandal have been granted regular bail by different co-

          ordinate Benches of this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 49583 of 2017

          is in custody since 23.10.2024

                      5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for State

          has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

          let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing

                     verify the criminal antecedent of the petitioner and in case at
