IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.46925 of 2008 TOLTU GHOSE, Son of Ramu Ghosh, Resident of Subhash Colony, P.S. – Silliguri, District – Darjelling (West Bengal). Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 16.2.2009 Heard Sri Jay Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri Dasrath Mehta, APP for the State. It is true that the FIR does not indicate that anything was recovered from the possession of the petitioner, but on being shown the copy of the seizure memo in paragraph 1 of the case diary it is found that the petitioner was found in possession of a blade, which was probably used by him in committing the offence of pick pocketing. Besides the petitioner was found in possession of Rs.3,000/- constituted by three notes each of Rs.1000/- denomination. The petitioner was caught by the informant and fellow travelers while he had just completed the commission of the offence and had passed on the money to his companion. Considering the act complained of, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on bail. However, as soon as, the petitioner completes one and half years of confinement without being trial brought to conclusion from the date of his remand in the case, the court - 2 - below shall release the petitioner on bail, but before doing that, the court below must verify the correct address of the petitioner from all corners.
