IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4291 of 2011 SURESH KUMAR, SON OF LATE NANNU MAHTO, REIDENT OF MOHALLA- DAMARIYA, P.S. GARDANIBAGH, DISTRICT- PATNA. …..PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH VIGILANCE. ……… OPPOSITE PARTY 3. 23.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Vigilance. The petitioner is in custody since 7.10.2010 in relation Special Case No.29 of 2010 arising out of Vigilance P.S. Case No. 72 of 2010 instituted under Section 7/13(2) read with section 13(1) (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act pending in the court of Sub. Judge, Vigilance, (North Bihar), Muzaffarpur, it is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that case has been transferred to Special Vigilance Judge Patna. It is alleged that the petitioner, who was Enforcement Police Officer posted at Motihari. He used to demand illegal gratification for permitting vehicles to enter prohibited areas. Upon this information, a trap was laid and allegedly from shirt pocket of the petitioner, the bribe money was recovered. Hand and the shirt, disclosed positive results. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that story of the demand of illegal gratification itself is unsustainable and unbelievable and trap was laid purposefully to implicate the petitioner. In relation to other asset petitioner has furnished explanations which are reasonable. Be that as it may, charge-sheet has already been 2 filed under section 13(1) (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. In my view, in such offence it would be appropriate for the court concerned to expedite the trial as the witnesses for the prosecution would mainly be official witnesses. If the trial is not concluded within six months, subject to petitioner cooperating, the petitioner would 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 Special Judge, Vigilance (North Bihar), Muzaffarpur in Special Case No. 29 of 2010 arising out of Vigilance P.S. Case No. 72 of 2010. Devendra/ ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
