Versus STATE OF BIHAR WITH Cr.Misc. No.30358 of 2008 RAM AVTAR MAHTO @ BIND S/O-Late Ramdhani Mahto, R/O-Vill-Maraline Manihari, P.S.-Manihari, Distt.-Katihar. ……………………………Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 27.11.2008 Since both above these bail applications have arisen out of one occurrence i.e. Manihari P.S. Case No. 50/2008 they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. The First Information Report has been registered under Sections 384, 386/34 of the Indian Penal Code on the allegation that these petitioners and others were extorted money and it was being done at the behest of Ram Bachan Yadav @ Pagla Yadav who has asked to realize Rs. 1200/- instead of Rs. 900/- from the boat owners. It appears from the case diary that there is no antecedents of the petitioner Fulo Yadav regarding demand of extortion. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner Fulo Yadav (in Cr. Misc. No. 40488 of 2008) is ordered to be released on bail on furnishing bail - 2 - bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar in connection with Manihari P.S. Case No. 50 of 2008. A report has been called for of Manihari P.S. Case No. 50 of 2008 from the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar as well as antecedents report in respect of the petitioner Ram Avtar Mahto @ Ram Avtar Mahto (Bind) in Cr. Misc. No. 30358 of 2008 vide order dated 15.10.2008. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the case has been compromised. It appears from the case diary that there are several cases against this petitioner namely Ram Avtar Mahto @ Ram Avtar Mahto (Bind) from before. Considering this, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner Ram Avtar Mahto @ Ram Avtar Mahto (Bind) in Cr. Misc. No. 30358 of 2008. Accordingly his prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail in the Court below after completing one year in custody. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
