IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31535 of 2009 MANGAL SAH, S/o late Amrit Sah, R/o village Laheriya ganj, Ward No. 1, Madhubani Town, P.S. Madhubani, District Madhubani … Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ……… Opp. Party For the petitioner : Mr. Gagandeo Yadav, Advocate For the State : Mr. Nirbhay Kr. Singh, A.P.P. ---- 6 21.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections 395, 397, 398 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that petitioner is not named in the first information report, however, co-accused Suraj Sah was allegedly identified by the informant while he was receiving treatment at the hospital and he had disclosed the name of the petitioner. It is submitted that petitioner is in custody since 2.1.2009. Learned counsel for the State submitted that the petitioner’s name has been taken by co-accused who are identified by the informant in the hospital and he has stated that petitioner was the person who had hurled bomb. Co-accused Santosh Mahto @ Bauka had been granted bail - 2 - by a Bench of this Court on the ground that none has stated before the police regarding his involvement rather he was seen going towards the house. However, the prayer for bail of co-accused Sikandar Sah @ Sikandar Turha, who is on similar footing of that of the petitioner has been rejected by a Bench of this Court by order dated 6.8.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 14099 of 2009. Having regards the facts and circumstances of the case and gravity of the allegation and also the fact the petitioner has been named by one of the apprehended co- accused, who had been identified by the informant, I am not inclined to grant bail to this petitioner for the present. Accordingly this application is rejected. However, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months. Spd/- (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.) -----------
