JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 02/ 19.07.2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is in jail custody since 17.4.2012 in a case registered under [STATUTE] and 3(X) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Admittedly, except section 3(X) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, all sections are bailable in nature and it would further appear that having more or less similar allegation other co– accused persons have already been granted privilege of bail by learned court below itself. Apart from this, it appears that parties have amicably settled their dispute with happy note of compromise. It is very surprising that in spite of the aforesaid fact, In charge Addl. Sessions Judge I, Gaya rejected the prayer for bail of the petitioner, particularly, in the circumstance, when other co-accused persons have already been released on bail. The conduct of the In charge Addl. Sessions Judge I, Gaya is not appreciable. Therefore, he is warned to be more cautious and vigilant in future while passing bail orders. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, let the petitioner, Sita Ram Prasad, be released on bail on furnishing bail Patna High Court Cr.Misc.
