BIJAY PRASAD, SON OF KAMALDEO MAHTO ALL ARE RESIDENTS OF VILLAGE RAJA KUAN, POLICE STATION BIHAR, DISTRICT NALANDA VERSUS STATE OF BIHAR ******* 2 26.02.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State in both the cases. Petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case under Sections 384, 341, 323 & 380 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that Ved Prakash had withdrawn Rs. 25,000/- for his daughter’s wedding on 14.02.2007 and while returning he was way-laid by Akash Nandan 2 Prasad and others. The case was instituted on 14.02.2007. It is submitted that the present complaint case has been filed by the wife of Akash Nandan Prasad against Ved Prakash and his relatives who are cousins, uncles etc. just one week after the first information report was instituted by Ved Prakash. It is, therefore, contended that the present case is an attempt to misuse the process of law for their own ends. Be that as it may, the above named petitioners are directed to be released on anticipatory bail in the event of their arrest/surrender before the Court below within a period of six weeks in Complaint Case No. 162C of 2007 on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda at Biharsharif.
