No.19583 of 2009 ALOK KUMAR @ ALOK RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4/ 14/09/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the State as also learned counsel for the informant. The petitioners are in custody in a police case under Sections- 364, 302 and 201 of I.P.C. The submission is that the F.I.R. is against unknown. Their names have transpired belatedly only a month and a half later on mere suspicion. Co-accused whose name likewise transpired belatedly on suspicion have been granted bail in Cr. Misc. No.38075/08 and Cr. Misc. No.46635/08. The allegations are of the abduction of an eight year old boy and the recovery of his bones and mutilated limbs. These facts find reference in an order of this Court dated 7.9.2009 in Cr. Misc. No.27096/07 and Cr. Misc. No.27941/07. 2 The prayer for bail of several of the co- accused has been rejected. Paragraph-105 of the case diary that the petitioner in 19583/09 was driving the motorcycle on which the petitioner in Cr. Misc. No.11636/09 was sitting pillion and a minor boy was sitting in between being taken away on the motorcycle. Paragraph-106 of the case diary notices the statement of another independent witness that the petitioner in Cr. Misc. No.19583/09 was seen lugging a full gunny sack towards the room in his premises where hay was kept. This Court is not satisfied that the petitioners are entitled to bail. The prayer for bail is rejected. It has been noticed in Cr. Misc. No.46765/08 while rejecting the bail application of co-accused Devendra Rai that the prosecution-witnesses had all been examined and the trial was on the verge of conclusion with regard to him. It appears that prosecution-witnesses are readily forthcoming. Let the trial of the petitioners also be concluded expeditiously. The applications stand dismissed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
