Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.13748 of 2012 ====================================================== Vijay Shankar Kumhar .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 4 19-06-2012 Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under [STATUTE] . Accusation is of getting produced forged F.S.L. report. Initially Ramgarh P.S. Case No. 43 of 2003 was registered on recovery of the heroin when petitioner was made accused. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that heroin was recovered from the other accused, hence there was no occasion for the petitioner to get the forged F.S.L. report produced. It appears that Santosh Tiwary, similarly situated accused has been granted regular bail by this Court vide Cr. Misc. No. 20288 of 2011 on 20.12.2011. I see no reason for learned Court below not to give the same privilege to the petitioner, if the petitioner surrenders within a period of six Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.13748 of 2012 (4) dt.19-06-2012 2 / 2 2 weeks in connection with Bhabhua P.S. Case No. 457 of 2010, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kaimur at Bhabhua.
