The lawyers have no objection with regard to the proceeding,

which has been held through Video Conferencing today at 02.15 p.m. They

have no complaint in respect to the audio and video clarity and quality.

Petitioners are praying for grant of bail as they are in custody for

allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341,

323, 324, 307, 504, 506, 427 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the

Prevention of Witch (Daain) Practices Act, in connection with Barhi Police

Station Case No.424 of 2021, pending in the Court of the Judicial Magistrate,

Hazaribagh.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned A.P.P.

for the State and have also gone through the impugned order.

Defects, pointed out by the Office, are ignored for the present.

There is an allegation that several persons including these

petitioners, armed with weapons came to the house of the informant and

threatened the informant and also assaulted him.

From the impugned order and the materials on record, it is

apparent that it is Balram Pandey, who has assaulted the informant with

pharsa.

Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State opposes the prayer for

bail. He submits that the petitioners were members of mob, but, admitted that

main allegation is against Balram Pandey.

Considering the nature of allegation against the petitioner, which

is general in nature, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Petitioners,

namely, Sunny Ram @ Sunny Kumar and Satish Pandey @ Satish Kumar, are

-: 2 :-

directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees

Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the

satisfaction of the Judicial Magistrate, Hazaribagh in connection with Barhi

Police Station Case No.424 of 2021.
