IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17529 of 2009 PREM PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 28.5.2009. N.H./ Heard both sides. Petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under sections 395/397 I.p.C. The F.I.R. was lodged against unknown. Petitioner was arrested at his house on the following day i.e. on 3.2.2009. It appears he was put on Test Identification Parade and was identified by two inmates of the family as one of the persons involved in the commission of dacoity. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner being the co-villager and known to the family from before, the Test Identification Parade has no legal value. It is further contended that some articles are said to have been looted away, which was restored to the informant. Counsel for the State opposed the prayer and drew attention of the court to the impugned order where the learned Sessions Judge has noted that the petitioner carries criminal antecedent. Having regard to the submission and after going through the material available on record, prayer for bail stands rejected. The petitioner is however granted liberty to renew his prayer for bail after nine months if the charges are not framed in the case. ( Kishore K. Mandal,J.) - 2 -
