IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31171 of 2009 PAPPU SETH @ BISHAMBHER NATH VERMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 14.09.2009 Heard both sides. Sole petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Section 366A of the Penal Code. Allegation as per F.I.R. is that 18 years old daughter of the informant was missing. After clearing matriculation examination she was studying in Banars. Allegation is that she developed some relationship with co-accused Vishwanath Seth @ Vivek Seth. It is alleged that other family members cooperated in kidnapping/abducting of the girl. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is cousin brother of Vishwanath Seth @ Vivek Seth. Other family members have also been made accused. The girl, in fact, has married with Vishwanath Seth @ Vivek Seth and is living with him. Learned counsel for the petitioner handed in an order dated 22.05.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. no. 13572 of 2009 ( Kashi Seth Versus The State of Bihar) to submit that one of the own family members , namely, Kashi Seth has been privileged with bail by this court. Said order is on record marked ‘Y’. Petitioner being cousin resides separately. It appears that he is in custody since 13.05.2009. Having regard to the submissions and keeping in 2 view the fact that one of the co-accuseds, identically placed, has since been privileged with bail by this court, I am persuaded to grant the same benefit. Let petitioner above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 8,000/- ( eight thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the CJM Sasaram ( Rohtas) in connection with Bhorey P.S.Case no. 59 of 2008 ( G.R.No. 2150 of 2008).
