IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7656 of 2010 RAMYASH PRASAD YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Hari Kishore Thakur, Adv. For the State : Mr. Manish Kumar No.2, A.P.P. ------ 2/ 19.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Addl. P.P. for the State. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case originally instituted under sections 279, 337 and 338 of the Indian Penal Code , all bailable offence. From the F.I.R., Annexure-1, it appears that aforesaid case was instituted for the reason that a Bus had met with an accident, as a result of which certain passengers had sustained injuries. Petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. and that case was instituted in the year 2003. After seven years of the occurrence, offences under sections 419, 420, 379, 414 and 120B had been added by order dated 05.01.2010 on the ground that bus in question was stolen by one Manjay Lal Rai, son of the petitioner and that was being plied on the road. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the aforesaid bus was purchased by aforesaid Manjay Lal Rai, who is now dead and petitioner is sought to be arrayed in the category of the accused in the present case merely on the basis that the petitioner happens to be father of the - 2 - aforesaid Manjay Lal Rai. Apparently there is no legal material to directly connect the petitioner with the offence in question. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that as a matter of fact his son Manjay Lal Rai was a bonafide purchaser of the aforesaid bus in question. Be that as it may, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, let the above named petitioner, in the event of arrest or surrender in the court below within four weeks from today, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate (West), Muzaffarpur in Karja P.S.Case No. 101 of 2003, subject to conditions as laid down under section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.
