IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.50163 of 2007 MD.GUDDU @ MD.SAHNAWAJ ALAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 2.5.2008 Heard the parties. The allegation in the FIR is of kidnapping of the father of the informant. On the same night when the father of the informant was allegedly kidnapped, the father of the informant returned. He recorded his statement before the police and at that time he did not disclose as to who may be behind the alleged kidnapping. Subsequent thereto, the father of the informant recorded his statement under section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code and therein stated that the petitioner is behind the alleged kidnapping. While narrating the incident under section 164, the father of the informant stated that the kidnappers had concealed their face, he somehow escaped and returned home in a taxi. He has not disclosed the taxi number. He has not made any effort to produce the taxi driver before the police to help investigation. Having regard to what has been stated above and taking note of the fact that disputes pertaining to running of two petrol pumps are pending in between the families to which the petitioner belongs and to which the informant and his father belong, I think a genuine case for grant of anticipatory bail has been made out. In the event of arrest/surrender of the petitioner - 2 - within six weeks from today in Mahua p.s.case no.82 of 2005, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of CJM Vaishali at Hajipur.
