SAHARSA. ---- PETITIONER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR --- OPP. PARTY. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Gajendra Kumar Jha, Advocate. & Mr. Sushil Kumar Jha, Advocate. For the Opp. Party : Mr. J. Chaubey, Advocate. 03. 18.04.2009 Heard both sides. The sole petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with Saharsa P.S. Case No. 58 of 2008 under Sections 341, 323, 324 and 307 of the Penal Code has approached this court for grant of anticipatory bail. As per F.I.R., the petitioner caught hold of the informant and his father sprinkled acid on his body. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is counter version as well respecting the occurrence in the shape of a complaint lodged by his father (annexure-4). Learned counsel for the petitioner further states that the Supervising Police Official ( S.D.P.O. Saharsa) made supervision of the case and after appraisal of the evidence available on record, has come to the conclusion that there is evidence available to support the accusations against the father but the implication of the petitioner in the occurrence is doubtful. Having regard to those facts and, particularly, the 2 allegation whereby the allegation of sprinkling acid has been assigned to the father and not to the present petitioner, this court is persuaded to grant him the privilege of anticipatory bail. In the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of four weeks from today before the court below, above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saharsa, in connection with Saharsa P.S. Case No. 58/2008, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Sym/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
