Patrakar Nagar, District-Patna. Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 6. 23.09.2011 Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the informant. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the state. The original complaint of the informant bearing Complaint Case No. 3266 of 2010 was sent to the concerned police station for institution of F.I.R. and investigation. Allegedly informant kept one Almirah in the house of petitioner who is none else but the brother-in-law of the informant. The informant had kept ornaments, other articles and cash of Rs. 18 lacs in the said Almirah but subsequently the petitioner misappropriated the aforesaid ornaments and cash and had lodged a case of theft which was found false by the police. Contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that no inventory was prepared by the informant at the time of handing over the aforesaid articles to petitioner and so far as submission of final form in the theft case is concerned, a protest petition has already been filed. 2 On the other hand learned counsel appearing for the informant submits that a regular threat is being made on her mobile phone and furthermore there is specific allegation against the petitioner for misappropriation of the aforesaid cash and ornaments. Taking into consideration the submission of the parties, I do not feel inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Patrakar Nagar P.S. Case No. 46 of 2011, pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna is rejected. However, the learned court below is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner. Ravi/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
