Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04. 17.02.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 364, 120B, 302 and 201 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution case is that the loaded truck along with driver and khalasi disappeared on account of which on suspicion a case under Sections 302, 201, 396 and 412 of the Indian Penal Code was instituted. During investigation one Pintu Kumar was arrested who gave an extra-judicial confession that the petitioner was also involved in the occurrence. Thereafter, one Joga Choudhary was arrested he also corroborated the same. On the statement of Joga Choudhary co-accused Sonu was caught and thereafter the truck was also recovered from the house of co-accused, Manoj Mahto. The petitioner is an accused in two other cases of similar nature which is evident from the case diary. - 2 - Taking into consideration the fact that there is enough circumstantial evidence to support the complicity present petitioner with this offence which is very serious in nature, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the seriousness of the nature of the crime. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
