IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32203 of 2009 VIKASH KUMAR SINGH, son of Sri Ram Naresh Singh, Resident of village Fatehpur, P.S. Gouri Chak, District Nalanda Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 10.9.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State as also counsel for the informant Yogendra Sharma. All said and done the only allegation which can at best be substantiated against the petitioner is that he in a shop was storing or supplying pirated video cassettes. This of course is punishable in terms of the provisions of Copyrights Act and under the Penal Code but then his allegation would be much lighter as against the persons who are manufacturing such cassettes. Considering this aspect that the offence is punishable by a maximum sentence of three years and the petitioner is in custody since 25.7.2009 only, this Court would direct for release of the petitioner Vikash Kumar Singh on bail on or after 25th September, 2009 on his furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the 2 satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda at Bihar Sharif in Laheri P.S.Case No. 148/2009, subject to the condition that if now onwards in his shop any pirated video cassette will be found by an authorized officer of the Government/ an Police Officer in the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police or above and any prosecution thereof will be launched against him, the present bail shall also stand cancelled.
