IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45606 of 2008 RAJEEV SINGH …. PETITIONER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …. OPP. PARTY ----------- 2. 27.11.2008 Heard Sri Diwakar Prasad Karn, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri D. Mehta, APP for the State. The informant had gone into a bank for withdrawing some money, to be exact Rs.13,000/-. He had to be amount in a bag and when he turned towards his bag for counting the money, he found that the bag was cut and the money was missing. The present petitioner was chased on suspicion and caught and from his possession the amount was recovered. The recovered amount and the petitioner were produced before the police station with the written report. The contention is that the petitioner bears a clean sheet and the petitioner himself handed over the money to the informant. Be that as it may, considering the fact that the petitioner was caught and from his possession recovery was made, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on bail at this stage. The petition is dismissed. If the trial of - 2 - the petitioner is not conclude in a period of one and half years from the date of his remand in the case, the court below shall itself release the petitioner on bail on execution of a bond to its own satisfaction.
