IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.47009 of 2008 SUNIL KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 3.12.2008 Heard Smt. Pallavi Mishra, Advocate for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petition for bail is in a case under Sections 379 and 411 of the IPC. The allegation is that the informant is a lady while moving on public thorough, she found her chain was being snatched from her neck. She raised alarm and also ran after the accused who was speeding away by a bicycle. Persons of the neighborhood rushed out to surround the accused. Search was made and ornament was found out in his pant pocket. The contention is that in fact the accused really had tumbled over the petitioner and again ran away and during that process the chain dropped on the ground from the pocket of the accused. The people of the locality mistakenly presumed the petitioner as the real culprit. The court really appreciates the ingenuity of learned advocate, framing the defence, but does not have the faith in it of the recovery by innocent persons. Petition is dismissed. If the trial is not concluded within a period of one year from the date of remand of the petitioner in the case, the learned C.J.M. Patna shall himself release the petitioner on bail on execution of a bond to his own satisfaction in connection with Khagaul P.S.Case No.101 of 2008. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
