IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34853 of 2008 HEMANT KUMAR SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR THRU.VIG. - - - - 2. 12.9.2008 Heard. The allegation is that the petitioner was demanding the bribe of Rs. 5,000/- for arresting the accused persons of Dariyapur P.S.Case No.16 of 2008 as also for submitting chargesheet about the truthfulness of the facts. The Annexures to the supplementary affidavit could indicate that the accused had been arrested and forwarded to the court, the day the F.I.R. of the case was forwarded to it and the main complaint filed by the complainant Sachchita Prasad Srivastava was presented before the Vigilance Department on 3.3.2008. So it could be within four days that the informant was presenting a complaint of being asked for paying up the bribe. The contention is that having arrested and forwarded the accused four days prior to the filing of the complaint before the Vigilance Department, as appears from the annexures to the supplementary affidavit, the 2 first limb of the allegation appears baseless. The second contention is that the petitioner was apprehended thereafter and there was no question of demanding or asking him for paying up the bribe within the period, so to say, of five days, as the investigation would not have been completed by then. Be that as it may, regard being had to the fact that the accused persons had been arrested about four days prior to the presentation of the complaint before the Vigilance Department and were produced before the court, let the above named petitioner be directed to be released from custody on his furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Special Judge, Vigilance, North Bihar Muzaffarpur, in Special Case No. 9 of 2008 arising out of Vigilance Case No. 15 of 2008.
