Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Sugauli P.S. Case No. 54 of 2003 initially registered under Section 307 and other minor sections of the Indian Penal Code but subsequently, after 15 days of the institution of the First Information Report Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code was added. No doubt, the case is of the year 2003 and petitioner was remanded in the case on 09.10.2010 but the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner was not aware about the institution of the above stated case and he had gone outside the State in connection with his livelihood. It appears from perusal of the First Information Report that the only allegation against this petitioner is that he assaulted the informant’s nephew with lathi and so far as deceased is concerned, it appears that he was assaulted by the other accused. Taking into consideration the above stated facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sri Jitesh Kumar, Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Motihari, District-East Champaran in connection with above stated Sugauli P.S.
