IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1503 of 2011 BUDHAN @ RANJIT RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 23.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the state. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Govindpur P.S. Case No. 60 of 2010 registered under section-366 of the Indian Penal Code. Although the petitioner is named in the FIR but admittedly, in course of investigation, victim was recovered and her statement was recorded u/S 164 of the Cr.P.C. in which she very clearly stated that she was never kidnapped by the petitioner rather she had gone alongwith the petitioner with her own sweet will. The victim was major at the time of alleged occurrence as it appears from the written report of the informant as well as statement of the victim itself. It is surprising enough that in spite of aforesaid, materials, learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Nawada rejected the prayer for bail of the petitioner on flimsy ground, let an explanation be called for from Additional Sessions Judge-II, Nawada as to under which circumstances, he rejected the bail petition of the petitioner. Let the petitioner, namely, Budhan @ Ranjit Ram be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in - 2 - connection with Govindpur P.S. Case No. 60 of 2010 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nawada. Let the matter be placed on receipt of the explanation of the concerned officer. AKV/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
