that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is then submitted that

prevailing between them. It is then submitted that prior to this case, from the
side of the petitioner, Hunterganj P.S. Case No.120 of 2024 has been
instituted and as a counter-blast, this false case has been foisted against the
petitioner. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since

further submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as
mentioned in para-4 of the supplementary affidavit. It is lastly submitted
that the petitioner also undertakes to co-operate with the trial of the case.
Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be released on bail.
Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail of
the petitioner.
Considering the facts of this case, the above-named petitioner is
directed to be enlarged 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 Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Chatra in connection

photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he
will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case.
