IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27521 of 2010 RITESH MANDAL son of Sri Saryug Mandal, resident of village Nawada, Police Station Sultanganj, District Bhagalpur, … …Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR … OPPOSITE PARTY For the Petitioner: Mr. Deepak Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the State : Mr. , APP ----------- 3 04.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and none appears on behalf of the State. Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for offences punishable under sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 384, 385 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. However, it is stated that chargesheet has been submitted under section 386 of the Indian Penal Code. On earlier occasion petitioner’s prayer for bail was rejected by this Court vide order dated 07.12.2009 in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 37446 of 2009, a copy of which has been appended as annexure 1 to this application. However, liberty was granted to the petitioner to renew the prayer for bail after nine months from the date of his judicial custody. It is stated that the petitioner is in judicial custody since 23.07.2009, i.e. for about more than one year. Further, it is stated that there was allegedly demand of extortion money 2 only, which was not given. Thus, it is urged that no ingredient of section 386 of the Indian Penal Code is attracted. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the abovenamed petitioner, RITESH MANDAL, to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhagalpur, in Sultanganj Police Station Case No. 61/2009 with further condition that one of the bailors must be his father. Further, after his release, if the petitioner is again found involved in similar kind of offences, the court concerned would be at liberty to take steps for cancellation of his bail bonds.
