IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6075 of 2009 Deva Nand Yadav @ Debu Yadav @ Sanjeev Yadav, Son of Satya Narayan Yadav, resident of Village-Rauta, P.S. Saur Bazar, District- Saharsa ---------------- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- WITH Cr.Misc. No.12861 of 2009 Banti Yadav @ Chandan @ Chandra Bhushan Yadav, Son of Birendra Yadav, Resident of Village-Maura, Baghla, P.S. Shankarpur, District-Madhepura ------------------- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 21-04-2009 Heard Mr.Shekhar Kr.Singh , learned counsel for petitioner Deva Nand Yadav @ Dabu Yadav @ Sanjeev Yadav of Cr.Misc.No.6075 of 2009 and learned counsel for petitioner Banti Yadav @ Chandan @ Chandra Bhushan Yadav of Cr.Misc.No.12861 of 2009 and learned A.P.P. for the State. Cr.Misc.No.6075 of 2009 filed by Deva Nand Yadav @ Debu Tadav @ Sanjeev Yadav and Cr.Misc.No.12861 of 2009 filed by Banti Yadav @ Chandan @ Chandra Bhushan Yadav have been taken up together as they arise of the same Supaul P.S. Case no.206 of 2007 registered under Section for 394 I.P.C. , in which both of them are not named and having been heard together are being disposed of by this common order. So far as petitioner Banti Yadav @ Chandan @ Chandra Bhushan Yadav is concerned, his earlier foray to this Court for bail was dismissed by order dated 30.9.2008 passed in Cr.Misc.No.35024 - 2 - of 2008 and no fresh ground has been urged save and except a plea that he has been in custody since 7.9.2007. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to petitioner Banti Yadav @ Chandan @ Chandra Bhushan Yadav. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. So far as petitioner Deva Nand Yadav is concerned, his name appears to have cropped up in the confessional statement of said Banti Yadav. That apart it appears from the rejection order of the Sessions Court dated 14.11.2008 that chargesheet has already been submitted and the petitioner is an obnoxious person having several criminal cases pending with him which gives a boost to his criminal antecedent. The prayer for bail of co-accused Banti Yadav was also rejected by this Court primarily on the ground of his having a criminal antecedent which was somewhat of a lesser degree than that of Deva Nand Yadav. In the aforesaid circumstances I am not inclined to release the petitioner Deva Nand Yadav @ Debu Yadav @ Sanjeev Yadav on bail. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. NKS/- ( Abhijit Sinha, J )
