IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14525 of 2009 BITTU PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 22.4.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by an order dated 2.5.2008 in Cr. Misc. No. 2643 of 2008 with an observation that if the trial against the petitioner is not concluded within a period of six months, he will have the liberty to renew his prayer for bail. Counsel for the petitioner would submit that in fact this Court by a common order dated 2.5.2008 had also rejected the prayer for bail of Dina Nath Singh who has been subsequently granted bail by this Court by order dated 14.1.2009 in Cr. Misc. No. 321 of 2009. Considering the fact that the case of the petitioner is almost on the same footing as that of Dina Nath Singh and that the petitioner has remained in custody for a period of nearly one year from the date of last rejection, this Court would direct the petitioner, namely, Bittu Prasad to be 2 released on bail in connection with Trial No. 01 of 2008 arising out of Paroo P.S. Case No. 181 of 2007 on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of 1st Additional Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, (N.D.P.S.), Muzaffarpur. It is made clear that one the two sureties must be a Government Servant or the father or mother of the petitioner. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
