IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6220 of 2010 MANJU PASWAN, S/o Rambahadur Paswan. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 03.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 396 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner happens to be the co-villager of the informant despite which he has named only three persons in the First Information Report along with 40 to 42 unknown criminals. The petitioner was arrested when during investigation his name transpired through police spy. From the impugned order it appears that the petitioner is in custody since 23.05.2006 and even though the case was committed for trial on 21.02.2007 it is only on 01.03.2008 that he was produced from jail custody. Till date it appears that there is no substantial progress in trial. Taking into consideration the afore- mentioned facts as also that the petitioner is accused in only one other case, let the petitioner above named - 2 - be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5,000/- (Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of 9th Additional Sessions Judge, East Champaran, Motihari in connection with S.Tr. No. 481 of 2002 arising out of Pakridayal P.S. Case No. 20 of 2002 subject to the following conditions:- (i) That one of the bailors will be a close relative of the petitioner who will give an affidavit giving genealogy as to how he is related with the petitioner. (ii) That the bailor shall also state on affidavit that he will inform the court concerned if the petitioner is implicated in any other case of similar nature after his release in the present case and thereafter the court below will be at liberty to initiate the proceeding for cancellation of bail on the ground of misuse. (iii) That the petitioner will be well represented on each date and if he fails to do so on two consecutive dates, his bail will be liable to be cancelled. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
