IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37446 of 2009 RITESH MANDAL S/O SRI SARYUG MANDAL R/O VILL NAWADA, P.S.SULTANGANJ, DISTT- BHAGALPUR,.. Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR … OPPOSITE PARTY For the Petitioner: Mr. Deepak Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the State : Mr. R.P.S. Singh, A.P.P. ----------- 3 07.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case registered under sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 384, 385 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. However, it is stated that chargesheet has been submitted under section 386 of the Indian Penal Code against the petitioner. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that that the allegation against him is of only demand of extortion money, which was not taken, thus, no ingredients of section 386 of the Indian Penal Code are made out. Learned counsel for the State submitted that there was demand of extortion money of rupees one lac to allow the villagers to cultivate the “Diara” land, otherwise they were threatened to be killed by him. It is also stated that the antecedent of the petitioner is not clean, as it is apparent from the order of the learned 2nd Additional 2 Sessions Judge that the petitioner is involved in four other cases of the Arms Act as well as offence of kidnapping, extortion and attempt to commit murder. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail for the present. This application is, accordingly, dismissed. However, if so advised, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after nine months from the date of his judicial custody. SC ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
