IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3353 of 2008 BINOD MANJHI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 8.5.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. representing the State. This is a case of misuse of privilege of bail for a period of 10 years. The petitioner has remained in custody from 30.4.2007 and from the report of the Trial Court dated 2nd April, 2008, it is clear that the case has not even been committed to the Court of Sessions. In that view of the matter, keeping the petitioner in custody would serve no useful purpose. However, keeping in view that the petitioner had been absconding for a period of 10 years, this Court grants bail to the petitioner only on a specific condition that henceforth the petitioner will remain present on each and every date personally and in the event he absents himself for even a day before the Trial Court, his bail shall stand cancelled automatically. The petitioner Binod Manjhi, for the present, is being directed to be released on bail in connection with Pipara P.S. Case No. 26/1994 on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Judicial Magistrate, Masaurhi, Patna. It is however made clear that one of the bailers must be either the mother or the wife of the petitioner. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
