IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42065 of 2009 SIBU MIAN @ SARFARAZ AHMAD, SON OF LATE ABDUL RAUF Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 27.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 364(A) and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code. Considering that there is allegation against the petitioner of having involved in the kidnapping and demand of ransom for release of the victim, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to consider proceeding with the case during the absence of the accused since it is not required under Section 317 Cr. P.C. that the accused will be personally present and it is sufficient if the lawyer appears on his behalf. Under no circumstances, the trial will be delayed for this reason alone.
