                                       ORAL ORDER

2   13-05-2026                  Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner is apprehending arrest in connection

                   with Teghara P.S. Case No. 20 of 2024 lodged on 22.01.2024,

                   for the offence punishable under Sections 341, 324, 326, 302 &

                   34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act.

                                3. As per the prosecution, FIR has been lodged against

                   three named accused persons including the present petitioner

                   and five unknown persons with allegation that they all in

                   connivance with each other have killed the informant’s husband.

                   It has been further alleged by the informant that a land dispute

                   was going on between her husband and the petitioner and one

                                            2/3




          another accused person for which, the informant’s husband had

          filed a case against them, due to which, there is every possibility

          that the accused persons have killed the informant’s husband

          under a conspiracy.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Counsel

          submits that in the murder case of the informant’s husband, the

          petitioner has already accused and facing consequence of the

          said criminal case. He submits that in the present case, the name

          of the petitioner is there in the FIR but there is no act or overt

          act or allegation against the petitioner, save and except, the

          suspicion. He further submits that the criminal antecedent of the

          petitioner is not clean as there is one case pending against him.

                       5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for

          bail of the petitioner but fairly submits that the petitioner is well

          known to the informant prior to commission of the offence. But,

          in the present case, there is no direct allegation against the

          petitioner, save and except, suspicion.

                       6. As such, in the present facts and circumstances of

          this case, let the above named petitioner be released on

          anticipatory bail, in the event of arrest or surrender before the

          Trial Court within a period of 4 weeks from today, on furnishing
