The arrested accused thereafter were charge sheeted and they faced the sessions case. I am told, on 31st January, 2009 they were acquitted. Thereafter, on 11th March, 2009 the present applicant was arrested. It is the case of the prosecution that he is one of the absconding accused in the above mentioned case of murder. 3. After the applicant's arrest, at his instance, an iron rod was discovered. Besides, the applicant was identified by two eye witnesses in an identification parade, as one of the person who had taken away Vilas from his house on 22nd February, 2007. 4. The applicant, in my view, deserves bail. The material against the applicant is rather thin. The identification of the applicant after two years, is in my view a weak circumstance. Besides, the other accused stood acquitted from the case. The application is allowed. i) The applicant is released on bail of Rs.5,000/- (Rs.Five Thousand only), with one surety in the like amount.
