IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.51673 of 2008 1.HARIMOHAN SINGH, Son of Late Ram Lagan Singh, 2 GIRDHAR SINGH, Son of Late Lakhan Singh, 3. RAM EKBAL SINGH,Son of Late Rameshwar Singh, 4.FULENDRA SINGH, Son of Late Rameshwar Singh & 5.RABINDRA SINGH, son of Ram Chandra Singh. All are resident of village-Usari Khaira, previous P.S. Arwal at present P.S.Mahandia, previous District-Gaya, at present Arwal. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 27.1.2009 Heard Sri Kumar Chandrashekhar, Advocate for the petitioners and the learned A.P.P. for the State. On the day of the evidence which was 6.3.1998 the petitioners did not appear though there was an attendance of a witness. Their non- appearance and not making Pairvi, resulted in the cancellation of their bonds and issuance of various processes. After about 18 years of disappearing from the trial the petitioners surrendered to the custody of the court. The contention is that the Sessions Division of Jehanabad was created out of the Sessions Division of Gaya and the counsel who was entrusted to look after the case, demised and the petitioners could not maintain the track of his case resulting in the alleged disappearance of the petitioners from the trial. I find myself completely unable in conceding to - 2 - the argument inasmuch as the petitioners were very much on trial and they disappeared when the witness was in attendance on 6.3.1998 and as such they had the case within their knowledge and as such, they knew as to what they had to do. This appears a case of blatant misuse of privilege of bail and considering that I am not inclined to release the above named five petitioners on bail. Petition is dismissed. B.Kr.
