IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22100 of 2010 NARENDRA KUMAR S/O ASHOK KUMAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 3.9.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 365 and 364A/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The first information report has been instituted against unknown persons for the kidnapping of the father of the informant. Subsequently when the victim was recovered, he gave statement u/s.164 Cr.P.C. that he had overheard three names i.e. Narendra, Deepak and Santu. Thereafter the petitioner was arrested along with Deepak and Santu and they all gave confessional statement disclosing the complicity of the petitioner in the matter. Considering the seriousness of the nature of the offence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial. The Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna is directed to call for an explanation from the Investigating Officer of Hawai Adda P.S.case No.34 of 2009 dated 21.5.2009 as to why even though the accused was arrested on 4.6.2009, no efforts were taken to hold the test identification parade thereby leaving a major loophole in the prosecution case for the accused to escape. After due explanation, he shall also take action against the erring officials and report the matter to this Court at the earliest. - 2 - Put up the matter after receipt of the report in Chambers at 1.55 P.M. if not sitting singly in Court under the heading “To be mentioned”.
