IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.34402 of 2011 Rahul Kumar Jha, son of Sri Surendra Kumar Jha Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 3. 13.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 386, 120B of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The prosecution case is that some extortion calls were made to the Informant and his son from an unknown number. Thereafter, the miscreants also fired at the Informant to coerce them into paying the extortion money. The petitioner is not named in the First Information Report. Subsequently, the Informant and other witnesses stated that it was the petitioner who was driving the motorcycle while his brother was sitting at the back who had fired at the Informant for compelling him to pay the extortion money. The contention of the petitioner is that initially the petitioner is not named by the Informant and subsequently, at the behest of the Police, the petitioner has been named for ulterior purposes. Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge if his case is not bifurcated. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
