Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : For the Opposite Party/s : ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AHSANUDDIN AMANULLAH ORAL ORDER 2. 01-11-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Rafiganj P.S. Case No. 95 of 2012 which was registered for offence punishable under [STATUTE] . Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case which is totally concocted. He submits that after investigation the police did not submit chargesheet under Section 392 and instead only chargesheet under other minor sections were submitted but the Chief Judicial Magistrate has taken cognizance under [STATUTE] . He submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent and is in custody since 14.06.2012. Learned counsel submits that the Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.39550 of 2012 (2) dt.01-11-2012 2 allegation is concocted as the police has found the same to be exaggerated. Learned counsel has also drawn the attention of this court to the impugned order of the 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Aurangabad dated 18.09.2012 in which the only ground for rejecting the prayer for bail was that charges have not been framed and that earlier the prayer for bail was rejected by the Sessions Court. Learned counsel submits that the parties are known to each other and thus the allegation as per the F.I.R. is palpably unbelievable and false. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the petitioner had looted away the money from the house of the informant and thus he does not deserve to be released on bail. Upon hearing learned counsels for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, let the abovenamed petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Aurangabad in connection with Rafiganj P.S. Case No. 95 of 2012. Anjani/- (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
