IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7687 of 2008 SAMBHU PRASAD & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 6.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioners pray for anticipatory bail in a complaint case under Sections 147, 148, 149, 365 and 384 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation in the complaint petition is that the complainant being the Mahanth of the Math was abducted by the petitioners and kept for four days in confinement during which period the photographs and LTI on plain paper were also taken. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case for the sole reason that the complainant has been selling the properties of the Math which is being opposed by these petitioners and it is stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that the said fact has been admitted in the complaint petition also. It is further submitted by learned counsel that the petitioners are men of clean antecedent and there is no criminal case against them. It is further urged by learned counsel that if the abduction had taken place on 11.9.2005 itself then why no information was sent to the police authorities and instead a complaint case has been filed after a long delay on 16.9.2005. It is further pointed out that 2 of the co-accused against whom there is similar allegation have already been granted regular bail by the court below itself. 2 On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that the petitioners (1) Sambhu Prasad, (2) Lal Bahadur Rai @ Shashtri, (3) Jai Ram Rai and (4) Naga Baba, in the event of their arrest/surrender in the court below within four weeks from today, shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Complaint Case No. 2252/2005, Tr.
