IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35510 of 2009 USMAN MIAN son of Hanif Mian, resident of village-Harsher, P.S.-Siwanipatti, Dist.- Muzaffarpur. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 4.3.2010. Heard Mr. Pramod Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Uma Shanker Prasad Singh, learned APP for the State. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Minapur P.S. Case No.32 of 1996 registered for the offences under sections 395, 397 and 412 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner, while pressing the bail petition, submits that save and except confessional statement, there is no material against the petitioner. Without going into the merit of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner only on the ground that in this case first information report was lodged in the year 1996 and he was taken into custody in this case in the year 2009. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
