IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16391 of 2008 ABHAY CHAUDHARY Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 2.5.2008 This is an application for grant of regular bail in a case under sections 395 and 397 of the Indian Penal Code against 15-16 unknown criminals. In the house of the informant Basudeo Das a dacoity was committed and inmates were also assaulted. A large number of property were looted away. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that during the course of investigation name of the petitioner was disclosed in the confessional statement of co-accused Sanjay Das and Buchan Paswan. Thereafter, the petitioner was arrested. The petitioner also made a confessional statement and on the basis of his confessional statement two blanket were recovered from his house. He submits that those two blankets were not put on T.I.P. So, he submits that the petitioner, who is in custody since 1st December, 2007, be released on bail. Learned State counsel opposed the prayer for bail. From perusal of the impugned order it appears that the petitioner has criminal antecedent and he is involved in many as twelve cases. Considering the fact that dacoity was committed and the petitioner has made confessional statement and on the basis of his confessional statement two blankets were recovered and also that the petitioner has criminal antecedent, I am of the opinion that it is not a fit case for grant of bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. Md.S. (Anwar Ahmad)
