IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4345 of 2010 AWADHESH YADAV son of Jagdish Yadav, resident of village- Purahara, P.S.-Chauri, Dist- Bhojpur, Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 23.2.2010. Heard Mr. Prabhat Kumar Singh, learned APP for the State and Mr. Binod Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the informant. Learned counsel for the petitioner while pressing the bail petition submits that first information report was lodged against unknown and only on suspicion the petitioner was arrested during investigation and while he was in custody the police got his confessional statement recorded and on that confession the petitioner is languishing in jail. He submits that statement recorded before the police has got no evidentiary value and on mere confession made before the police the petitioner may not be allowed to be kept behind the bar. Learned counsel for the petitioner also produced a certified copy of the order dated 11.1.201 passed in Cr.Misc. No.44336 of 2009 and Cr.Misc. No.25214 of 2009 whereby two co-accused persons in the present case were granted bail by this court. Learned counsel for the informant while opposing the prayer for grant of bail, submits that the petitioner in his confessional statement has categorically confessed his guilt and he also disclosed that he was telephonically in touch with the co- accused, Anpurna Devi, as well as over telephone he asked the deceased to go to Ara. During the investigation police collected 2 telephone print out. He submits that telephone print out also corroborates the confession of this petitioner and, as such, the petitioner’s prayer for bail is liable to be rejected. Learned counsel for the State adopts the argument advanced by the learned counsel for the informant. However, without going into the merit of the case and keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is in jail on the basis of his confessional statement which was made before the police, I extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, let the petitioner above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhojpur, Ara, in connection with Arrah- Nawada P.S. Case No.134 of 2009. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
