IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.144 of 2010 ANKUR KUMAR @ SETU, S/o Sri Birendra Singh. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 03.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 364, 364A, 302 and 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. After the victim was kidnapped by unknown persons the petitioner joined the said miscreants in Benaras from where they proceeded to Dehradun where the petitioner arranged for a flat for the co-accused persons as well as the victim thereafter on account of non- fulfilment of demand for ransom the victim was done to death by the co-accused persons. In my view, there being ample material to suggest the complicity of the petitioner in the occurrence and the gruesome murder on account of non-payment of ransom I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial so as to conclude it within a reasonable time. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
