IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1694 of 2008 PINTU YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 14.5.08 The petitioner is in custody since 16.10.2007 in connection with Gopalpur (Rangra)P.S.Case no.229/2006 instituted under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is stated that the informant’s grand son on the fateful night had gone to a Mela but did not return. His dead body was discovered in a ditch. The informant accordingly alleged that one Manoj Yadav was suspected to be behind the killing of his grand son because Manoj Yadav wanted the informant to surrender his fair price shop. It is on this suspicion petitioner is also named. Learned 3rd Additional Sessions Judge,Naugachhia rejected the bail application of the petitioner virtually on the ground that he had earlier rejected the bail application of the said Manoj Yadav. This is regrettable in view of the fact that even before the petitioner’s surrendered and prayed for bail , Manoj Yadav had already been granted bail by this Court on 30.10.2007 in Cr.Misc. No.40702 of 2007. In the facts and circumstances of the case, let petitioner,Pintu Yadav, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Naugachhia, District- Bhagalpur, in Gopalpur (Rangra) P.S.Case no.229/2006 vide G.R.No. 930/2006.
