IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27756 of 2010 RANJEET MANDAL Versus The STATE OF BIHAR ------ 2/ 09.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Three boys kidnapped later appeared also. Kidnappers were not identified but later some of them apprehended even made confession naming this petitioner also. Kidnappers, Sibdani Mandal, Tanik Mandal and Sunil Mandal faced trial and acquitted on 27.11.2007. They tried separately only after taking every step by the Court for petitioner’s appearance including issuance of 82, 83 and ultimately, declared absconder. This much only disentitles the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner is rejected. However, petitioner is directed to surrender before the Court below and pray for regular bail which shall be decided on its own merits by considering all the points raised by the petitioner. shail (Mandhata Singh, J.)
