IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41923 of 2008 1. MUKESH KUMAR 2. CHANDANI MAHATO @ CHANDANIYA …… PETITIONERS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …… OPP. PARTY ----------- 02 17.11.2008 Heard Sri Pradeep Kumar Sinha, Advocate for the petitioners and Sri D. Mehta, APP for the State. The prayer for bail of both the petitioners is dismissed on account of being found in possession of arms. The contention was that there was a solitary case pending against the petitioner Chandani Mahato @ Chandaniya, but I could tell for quite some amount of certainty that the police has been managed by the petitioner because while I was acting as District & Sessions Judge, Sitamarhi, I could come across a number of cases of serious nature against the petitioner Chandani Mahato @ Chandaniya, considering which, the petition is dismissed with a direction to the court below to conclude the trial. As regards petitioner Mukesh Kumar, the contention is that he does not bear any criminal antecedent. The court below shall seek a report on that and if satisfied about the above contention, then it could be released the petitioner on bail on execution of a bond to its own - 2 - satisfaction, if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within one year from the date of his remand.
