IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32657 of 2009 JITENDRA KUMAR @ JITTU, S/O Madan Prasad, r/o-village Sheikhpur Gayatri Mandir, P.S. Ahiapur, District-Muzaffarpur. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 16/9/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering the fact that co-accused Shekhar Kumar having absolutely identical allegation has been directed to be released on bail by order of this Court dated 9.7.2009 in Cr. Misc. No.27893 of 2009 and that other co-accused also as per office report and the submission made in paragraph 12 of this application have been released on bail, this Court, taking into account that the petitioner claims that he has got no criminal antecedent (paragraph-18), is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner taking into account that he has remained in custody for almost 16 months. Accordingly, the petitioner, namely, Jitendra Kumar @ Jittu 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 6th Additional Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur in S.T. No. 848 of 2008 arising out of Ahiapur P.S. Case No.169 of 2008, on the condition that if in course of verification by the court below it would be found that there is criminal case pending against him he will not be released on bail and that the petitioner shall not only receive police papers in time but also cooperate in course of trial. Violation of either of the 2 conditions will itself entail automatic consequence for cancellation of bail. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
