IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.18336 of 2011 Suresh Bhagat @ Suresh Barai Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 4 05-09-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the state. Petitioner is not named in the first information report but in course of investigation, the petitioner was arrested and made his confessional statement leading to recovery of looted articles which had been put on Test Identification Parade and in the said Test Identification Parade, the aforesaid looted articles were identified by the witnesses. Learned counsel for the petitioner challenged the validity of the seizure list arguing that the independent witnesses have not signed the seizure list nor the copy of the seizure list has been furnished to the petitioner which is violation of mandatory provision of the law. It is also pointed out that having similar allegation, one co-accused, namely, Ram Bharos Sahani has already been granted privilege of bail by this court vide order dated 26.05.2011 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 15773 of 2011. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as well as submission of the parties, particularly, the recovery of looted articles from 2 possession of the petitioner, I am not inclined to release him on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Sheohar P.S. Case No. 19 of 2011 pending in the court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sheohar at Sitamarhi stands rejected.
