IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.33320 of 2011 Jitendra Kumar Sinha, S/o Late Brij Mohan Prasad Sinha. Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 3 25.10.2011 This application for regular bail has been filed by the petitioner who is alleged in custody since 06.05.2011 in Makhdumpur P.S. Case No. 163 of 2011 and N.D.P.S. Case No. 9/11/4/11 for the offences alleged under Sections 17/25 of N.D.P.S. Act and Section 414 of the Indian Penal Code. It appears that 5 kg. of brown sugar was seized from a Sumo Victa pursuant to information available with the informant. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is nothing in the first information report to connect him to the transaction. It is his case that he was returning from Patna to Gaya after donating blood and happened to be standing around the vicinity of the place of occurrence. He further states that the motor cycle on which he was returning from Patna belongs to his son and the same has already been released by the competent court. He further points out that co-accused Santu Kumar @ Ripu Daman Bhardawaj and Pankaj Kumar have already been granted bail by this Court in Cr. Misc. Nos. 34227 and 28906 of 2011 respectively and prays that similar benefit of bail may be granted to him. Heard learned counsel for the State. Considering that there is no specific allegation in the first information report to the effect that the present petitioner 2 was consciously involved in the transaction nor any recovery of brown sugar has been made from him and also in view of the fact that co-accused Santu Kumar @ Ripu Daman Bhardawaj and Pankaj Kumar have already been granted bail and the case of this petitioner stands on similar footing, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional District & Sessions Judge-III, Jehanabad in connection with Makhdumpur P.S. Case No. 163 of 2011 and N.D.P.S. Case No. 9/11/4/11. Md. Ibrarul (Vikash Jain, J.)
