IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19436 of 2009 MAHANTH SINGH @ PRANAV SINGH Versus The STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 14.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Co-accused, Rambir Prasad came to the informant’s house while he was sitting with his kidnapped brother and asked to come to shop of Raktu Sah. He proceeded but did not return. In course of investigation, it appeared that this petitioner asked the family members of the victim to manage Rs. 10,000/-, if they wanted to have talked with the victim, for which submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is no corroboration from any corner that petitioner ever make any proposal for managing talk. Four of the accused persons tried after full fledged examination of witnesses but none of them corroborate the above version, even then petitioner is apprehending his arrest which cannot be justified. I agree with the submission advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner is allowed. In the event of arrest or surrender within one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order in connection with Sitamarhi P.S. Case No. 413 of 2005, above named petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of C.J.M., Sitamarhi subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of Cr. P.C. shail (Mandhata Singh, J.)
