IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36994 of 2009 1. SHEOJEE PRASAD S/O LATE BHAGWAN PRASAD VILL.- BANAURA, P.S.- BAIKUNTHPUR, DISTT.- GOPALGANJ Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 24/02/2010 Prayer for bail of the petitioner, who is an accused in Adapur (Harpur) P.S. Case No. 100/2007 which was registered under section 364-A of the Indian Penal Code, had been rejected earlier. The petitioner has moved this Court afresh on the ground that the trial of the case has suddenly come to stand still as there is no Presiding Officer available since 9.10.2009. Out of 17 prosecution witnesses, only 12 have been examined and rest of the witnesses have not been examined for the reason stated above. Some more development has taken place inasmuch as other co-accused have been enlarged on bail by various orders which have been now annexed along with the supplementary affidavit filed on his behalf. Keeping the totality of the circumstances, let the petitioner Sheojee Prasad be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20000/- (Twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the 3rd - 2 - Additional Sessions Judge, East Champaran at Motihari in Sessions Trial No. 953 of 2007. One surety is to be executed by the son of the petitioner and another by a close relation on due identification. It is further recorded that a categorical statement has been made that the petitioner has no antecedent of any kind and he is not involved in any other criminal case. This is a matter on which the trial court itself is still to satisfy. The petitioner is further directed to appear on each and every date of trial either through himself or through the Counsel. If he breaches the said direction, he may lose the freedom of bail granted to him in the present case. So shall be issue if he is involved in yet another criminal case of substantive kind after release from the custody in the present case. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
