2.

6. Accordingly, petitioner above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand), with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge Cyber Crime, Jamtara in connection with Jamtara Cyber Crime P.S.
