From perusal of the order dated 4.1.2007 it is evident that the said accused was granted bail on the ground that his name has come on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused. However, from the First Information Report it is evident that Karan Mahto’s name figures in the First Information Report. In view of aforesaid, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail.
