IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26583 of 2008 RAM SEVAK SAH Versus STATE OF BIHAR - - - - 2. 16.7.2008 Heard. The petitioner appears to be a member of a gang of three accused persons who are alleged to have deprived the informant of his belongings and in order to doing that appears taking him in confidence and offered him some courtesy and thereafter administered through one accused namely, Santosh Kumar Sah, a substance which caused the informant to lose his senses and the belonging of the informant were taken away. The contention is that the petitioner had not administered Peda to the informant and there is no recovery from his possession and further that the petitioner has remained in custody since 24.7.2007. The above contentions do not weigh much with the Court. Under the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to direct release of the petitioner on bail. The petition is dismissed. 2 However, if the trial is not concluded in another period of nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, the court below, i.e., Fast Track Court-V, Madhubani, shall release the petitioner on his furnishing a bond to its own satisfaction in Sessions Trial No. 112 of 2008 arising out of Pandaul(Sakri) P.S.Case No.212 of 2007..
