On the other hand, learned Spl. P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail and it has been submitted that this applicant has one similar criminal antecedent.

Accordingly, the applicant, named above, is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Commissioner, Ranchi in connection with Chanho P.S.
