IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42186 of 2008 VIJAY YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR For the petitioner: Mr.Arvind Kr. Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr.Ajay Kr.Singh,APP ----------- 2. 10.12.2008 Heard both sides. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail. On earlier occasion he had approached this Court for bail in Cr.Misc. No.10133 of 2008 which was rejected under order dated 7.3.2008 (Annexure-1). It appears that considering the dispute between the parties, liberty was granted to renew his prayer for bail after six months if the trial, in the meanwhile, is not taken up. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the trial of the case has not been taken up. It is further submitted that the co-accused Uday Yadav having identical allegations, has since been released on bail by this Court under order dated 26.8.08 passed in Cr.Misc.No.12682 of 2008. A certified copy of the order has been produced which is kept on the record. Counsel for the State does not dispute the aforesaid fact. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the liberty granted under the previous order as also the fact that similarly placed co-accused has since been released on bail by this Court, I am also inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner Vijay Yadav is directed to be - 2 - released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sherghati, Gaya in Sherghati p.s.case no.168/07 on condition that one of the bailors should be the own family member of the petitioner. The petitioner shall appear in Court on the date fixed in the case and if there is any wilful defiance of the order in appearing before the Court, the trial court shall be at liberty to take approporiate steps in accordance with law.
