IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.52144 of 2008 MD.FAKHRUDDIN, S/o Md. Yunus Ansari, Resident of village – Rajokhar Momin Tola, P.S. Araria, District - Araria Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 28.01.2009 Heard Sri Abdul Wadood, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri Dasrath Mehta, APP for the State. The petitioner had picked the pocket of the informant by taking out the purse from his upper pocket of kurta, the informant had put on. He raised an alarm. The petitioner was chased and caught by the RPF personnel and the purse was recovered, which was containing the cash of Rs.300/-. The contention is that the petitioner is in custody since 19.10.2008 and thus he has been properly punished. Regard being had to the nature of the offence and the recovery, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on bail. The petition is dismissed. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
