IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18369 of 2011 1. MANOJ RAM 2. JAGJIWAN RAM, BOTH S/O RAMAYAN RAM, R/O VILLAGE- DAMODRA, P.S. GUTHANI, DISTRICT-SIWAN. --PETITIONERS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR --OPP.PARTY For the Petitioners : Mr. Ajay Kr. Pandey For the State : Mr. Damodar Pd. Tiwary, APP 2 13.06.2011 Heard. The two petitioners are named accused in this case of the year 1998 against whom charge sheet had already been submitted in the year 2003 showing them as absconder. No doubt, one of the co-accused has already been enlarged on bail in the year 2004 but case of the petitioners cannot be equated with him. Petitioners are in custody since 23rd March, 2011, in connection with Guthani P.S. Case no. 33 of 1998 in the Court of Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Siwan. Considering the facts and circumstrances, specifically the delay caused at their instance, at this stage, this Court is not inclined to enlarge them on bail. Their 2 prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioners shall be at liberty to renew the prayer before the trial court itself after hearing on the point of charge and the court concerned shall consider their prayer on their own merit without being prejudiced of the instant refusal.
