IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.25816 of 2011 Mantu Kumar , S/O-Jagat Prasad Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- with Criminal Miscellaneous No.30478 of 2011 Sudhir Kumar, S/O-Sri Ramkrit Singh Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 04 05.12.2011 Both the above stated petitions arise out of Jehanabad P.S. Case No. 649 of 2010 registered under Section 364 A of the Indian Penal Code and accordingly, both the above stated petitions are being disposed of by this common order. Name of these petitioners came in course of investigation when the victim was arrested from a restaurant from where petitioners were also arrested by the police. The victim disclosed that he was taken to Jamalpur by co-accused Jitendra Kumar and others including these petitioners and he had been kept in a restaurant. It also came to light in course of investigation that a demand of ransom was made on the mobile phone of family members of the victim. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is that co-accused Jitendra Kumar and some others have already been granted privilege of bail by this Bench as well as another Bench of this Court whereas petitioners are languishing in jail custody for near about one year and petitioners do not have any criminal antecedent and no specific overt-act has been attributed against the petitioners. It is further contended by him that, as a matter of fact, the victim had left 2 his home in the company of other accused to enjoy hotelling and watching movie and when his parents became furious, he made false statement implicating the petitioners and other co-accused persons. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, particularly keeping in mind the period of detention of the petitioners in jail custody as well as this aspect of the matter that having more or less similar allegation co- accused persons are enjoying the privilege of bail, let the petitioners be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jehanabad in connection with Jehanabad P.S. Case No. 649 of 2010. SHAHZAD ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
