IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr Misc No 17333 of 2009 1) Ashok Jha 2) Binay Jha @ Binoy Kumar Jha @ Shambhu Jha, both sons of Mahendra Narayan Jha @ Mantu Jha, resident of village – Kaithiniya, P S – R S Shivir Jhanjharpur (Madhepur), District - Madhubani - Petitioners Versus 1) State of Bihar 2) Shiv Shankar Thakur, son of Shri Budhan Thakur, resident of Village – Kaithiniya, P S – R S Shivir Jhanjharpur (Madhepur), District – Madhubani -Opposite Parties ----------- 2 26.05.2009 The informant has appeared. He states that at the instance of the informant’s side, the petitioners’ relative was convicted in a criminal case and sentenced to 7 years imprisonment which conviction order was passed recently. Petitioners were the pairvikars in that case and because of this conviction, the petitioners have been harassing the complainant again and again for which complainant has to file multiplicity of complaints one after another and the present is one such case. To the contrary, Shri Rana Pratap Singh, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that no sooner petitioners are out of one case, the complainant lodges another. The complainant himself is facing several criminal cases. In view of these facts, in my view, it is better if the petitioners surrender before the Court below and pray for regular bail. The learned Court below would see and verify the above facts and then pass appropriate orders in accordance with law without being prejudiced by orders of this Court. With this observation, this application is dismissed. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
