IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REVISION No.650 of 2008 NARENDRA PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 17.07.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner, a Senior Advocate, is the informant of S.K.Puri P.S.Case No. 175 of 2007. He has filed this Cr. Revision application against the order dated 19.06.2008, passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna in the said Case, whereunder the wooden furniture and foam mattress seized in connection with the said case from the shop of the accused persons have been directed to be released in his favour on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/-. He is aggrieved by the direction to furnish personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- as according to him the amount due to the accused persons of the said case is only Rs. 13,815/-then why should he be asked to furnish personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- for the release of the furniture and the foam mattress which belong to him. The discretion to release the wooden goods and the foam mattress, which are the subject matter of a criminal case is with the Magistrate and the Magistrate appreciating the nature of the goods-in- question as also the dispute involved in the case has fixed the amount of the bond at Rs. 50,000/-. While considering Cr. Revision application against the order releasing the goods-in-question on personal bond, the quantum of the bond is beyond the purview of the revisional jurisdiction. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to interfere with the discretion exercised by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna and this Cr. Revision application is dismissed, however, with liberty to the petitioner to request the learned Magistrate to reduce the amount of bond. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
