Case Facts:
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36586 of 2012 (2) dt.08-10-2012 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.36586 of 2012 ====================================================== Hare Ram Verma .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 02/ 08.10.2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is in jail custody since 4.8.2012 in a case registered under [STATUTE] . There is allegation against the petitioner that he gave iron rod blow causing injury on the head of the informant’s son. The injury report of the informant’s son reveals that he sustained simple injury. Admittedly, there is case and counter case between the parties. It appears to me that the learned court below has rejected the prayer for bail of the petitioner only on the ground that the petitioner carries criminal antecedent. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioner, Hare Ram Verma, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar in Brahampur P.S. Case no. 146/2012. Shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
