IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2135 of 2011 ARJUN KUMAR SINHA, SON OF LATE CHANDRIKA PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH VIG ----------- 03 26.03.2011 Supplementary affidavit is filed on behalf of the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Special Public Prosecutor for Vigilance. Allegedly, petitioner was caught red handed taking five thousand rupees as bribe for sending the advisory note of the beneficiaries of Indira Awas Yojna to the concerned bank. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner had already sent the aforesaid advisory note to the concerned bank on 23.08.2010 and the cheque in respect of the advisory note had already been prepared by the concerned bank on 04.09.2010 and, therefore, the question of demanding bribe for sending the advisory note does not arise. It is also pointed out by him that the petitioner has been framed by allegation maker at the instance of one Kamal Nath Singh against whom the petitioner had already filed a complain. On the other hand, learned Special Public Prosecutor appearing for Vigilance points out that prior to institution of the case, the petitioner had been caught in connection with another case in which he was found taking bribe. So, the conduct of the petitioner is not satisfactory. It is also pointed out by him that the bribed amount has been recovered from possession of the petitioner. 2 Taking into consideration the above stated facts and circumstances of the case as well as previous conduct of the petitioner, I do not feel it proper to release him on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Vigilance P.S. Case No. 66 of 2010 pending in the court of learned Special Judge, Vigilance, Muzaffarpur, stands rejected. However, learned trial Judge is directed to conclude the trial of the petitioner within nine months from the date of receipt of this order and if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the above stated period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. I hope and believe that vigilance should produce the evidence in course of trial in time and also give proper co-operation to the trial Judge so that the trial Judge may conclude the trial of the petitioner within the above stated period.
