The very look of the case could never have permit me at least to grant bail to the petitioner but considering the submissions that he is a young person, who may get hardened in the company of some hardened criminals who may be lodged in Sub-divisional Jail, Barh, I have considered to direct the release of the petitioner, who has spent about a year in custody with the following conditions:- (i) That his father, who is reported to be an Advocate practicing in Civil Courts, Barh and if the mother of the petitioner is, alive she also, shall stand as sureties to the bond. A separate undertaking shall be given by them about taking care of their son. (ii) That they shall ensure good and - 2 - ordinary behaviour from the petitioner; (iii) In case the petitioner is found and reported indulging into same or similar nature of offence or any act of vandalism/ gundaism, the court shall issue notice to the petitioner and on being satisfied about the veracity of the report, shall assume that this Court had not passed the present order and shall take steps for committing the petitioner to custody. If the court has to proceed as indicated in condition no. (iii) then it has to be done within one and half months of the receipt of any report or information in any form by the court below. Let petitioner Satish Kumar be released from custody on furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barh in connection with Barh P.S.
