IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1503 of 2010 SATYANAND JHA, SON OF LATE PITAMBAR JHA, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-LAGMA, POLICE STATION-SONBARSA, DISTRICT-SAHARSA. …..Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THRU. VIG. …..Opposite Party. For the Petitioner : Mr. Subodh Kumar Jha (Advocate). For the State : Mr. Arvind Kumar (APP) ----------- 02/ 03.02.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel for the Vigilance. The petitioner is named accused of the case which has been registered under Sections 7/13 (2) read with Section 13 (1) (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. On the basis of written report submitted by Rakesh Paswan before the Vigilance, verification was made by Satish Chandra Das, the Vigilance Inspector and according to the said verification the allegations were found to be true. A pre-trap memorandum was prepared and the petitioner was caught while accepting the bribe of Rs. 4000/-. The bribe money was also recovered. The scientific examination confirmed that the recovered G.C. notes were the same which were intended to be given. Submission is that the basis of pre-trap memorandum is falsified because there was no Sanha so, there was no occasion at all to make 2 any demand. It has also been submitted that all the witnesses are interested witnesses because Ram Nagina Paswan and Ramdeo Paswan are the witnesses of pre-trap memorandum and post-trap memorandum. It has also been submitted that the petitioner is of poor health and is not being properly treated in the hospital and he is ready to obey all the terms and conditions which this Court may impose and he will also attend the Court regularly. Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of Vigilance has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. The petitioner has been caught red- handed while accepting bribe money. Considering this, presently, I am not inclined to grant bail to the above named petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail in the court below after completing one year in custody. kksinha/ ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
