Pappu Sharma S/O Ramashray Singh 2. Ram Singh S/O Late Ram Balak Singh .... .... Petitioner/s Versus 1. The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 3 27-02-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been made accused in this case at the instance of one Amar Kumar Agarwal and, as a matter of fact, on the alleged date of occurrence, police not only snatched rupees one lac from petitioner no. 2 but also booked the petitioners in the alleged crime. It is further submitted by him that even if, the prosecution story assumed to be true then also, a case under [STATUTE] is made out. Although, learned counsel for the petitioners tried to convince me about the innocence of the petitioners but I am not, at all, convinced with his submission and taking into consideration that in huge amount fake currency has been recovered from possession of the petitioners, I am not inclined to release the Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.3333 of 2012 (3) dt.27-02-2012 petitioners on bail. Accordingly, their prayer for bail in connection with Makhdumpur P.S. Case No. 330 of 2011 pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jehanabad is, hereby, rejected. SHAHZAD/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J)
