Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH) 2 31-01-2012 Petitioners are apprehending their arrest in a case registered for the offences under [STATUTE] . It is alleged that Mohan Rai and Vishwajeet took the informant’s daughter on pretext of illness of their mother Bidhata Devi. The 164 Cr.P.C. statement of the victim girl reflects that victim was in captivity of aforesaid both the accused persons, though no misbehavior was alleged when she was subsequently released. Considering the fact that specific accusation is against petitioner Mohan Rai, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to Mohan Rai. The application for Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.3141 of 2012 (2) dt.31-01-2012 grant of anticipatory bail of petitioner Mohan Rai stands rejected. However, since specific accusation is not against Bidhata Devi and she is a lady , let the petitioner namely Bidhata Devi, in the event of her arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of 12 weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Dalsingsarai, Samastipur in connection with Dalsingsarai P.S.
