IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21813 of 2009 YOGENDRA DAS, son of Munsi Das, Village- Lakshamipur, P S – Srinagar, District – Madhepura. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 06. 21.12.2009 Petitioner is an accused in Jadia P S Case No. 78 of 2006. Case was registered under sections 395/412 of the Indian Penal Code. He is in custody since 23.10.2008. Submission of the counsel is that some other accused have already been enlarged on bail besides petitioner’s name has figured on the basis of a confession. There is no recovery from him of any looted articles and that should be a ground in favour of the petitioner for grant of bail. But from the case diary the Court has noticed that there are four cases of similar nature pending against the petitioner and therefore he has antecedent of similar kind. Whether he is on bail and not in those cases is other issue but surely the petitioner does not have the clean record. That is one of the reasons that while granting bail to the petitioner the Court is of the opinion that the petitioner must appear before the Officer Incharge of nearest police station, which is stated to be Srinagar Police Station, once in a month and report his activity till the trial of the case is completed. Let the petitioner Yogendra Das be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.15,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Supaul in connection with Jadia P S Case No. 78 of 2006. One of the - 2 - surety will be executed by the father of the petitioner and other by a close relation on due identification. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the Superintendent of Police, Madhepura for appropriate steps and directions to be issued to the police station in this regard. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
