IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1306 of 2011 1. DHARMENDRA PASWAN SON OF SAKAL PASWAN 2. MEENA DEVI W/O SAKAL PASWAN 3. SAKAL PASWAN SON OF TEKKO PASWAN, ALL RESIDENT OF VILLAGE PIPRAKOTHI, P.S. PIPRAKOTHI, DISTT. EAST CHAMPARAN ….. PETITIONERS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 9.2.2011 The petitioners seek quashing of the order dated 22.11.2010 passed by the Sessions Judge, Motihari in Piprakothi P.S. case No.103 of 2010, by which he has refused extension of time for surrender in A.B.P.No.1381 of 2010. It has been submitted that the petitioners were granted anticipatory bail considering that there had been a compromise between the parties but they were required to surrender within a period of 20 days, which they could not do for reasons beyond their control and, therefore, prayed for extension of time, which was disallowed by the impugned order. It has further been submitted that the interest of justice will suffer if the petitioners are put behind the bars in a case in which they deserve to be released on anticipatory bail. Considering the said arguments, the application is allowed and the order dated 22.11.2010 passed by the Sessions Judge, Motihari in Piprakothi P.S. case No.103 of 2010 is quashed with a direction to the petitioners to surrender within a period of two weeks from the date of - 2 - receipt of this order on surety fixed in A.B.P.No.1381 of 2010. Let the order be communicated to the court of Sessions Judge, East Champaran at Motihari in A.B.P. No.1381 of 2010 (Piprakothi P.S. case No.103 of 2010) through fax at the cost of the petitioners.
