IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr Misc No 4707 of 2011 Shravan Yadav, son of Shivjee Prasad, resident of village – Mahanandpur, P S – Deepnagar, District – Nalanda - Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar - Opposite Party ----------- 2 25.02.2011 The petitioner is in custody since 14.10.2010 in relation to Deepnagar Police Station Case No 189 of 2010 which is instituted under Section 379 of Indian Penal Code. It appears that informant was returning after collecting advance. A person intercepted him on way and snatched away the money bag which contained some other papers as well. Later, police arrested the petitioner and, on search, apart from others, a Photostat copy of voters’ identity card of the father of the informant was found from the possession of the petitioner. On behalf of petitioner, it is now alleged that the copy of the voters’ identity card was of his friend. Unfortunately, this has not been either pleaded before the Court of Session or before this Court. Be that as it may, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. However, the trial may be expedited as chargesheet has already been filed under Section 379 of Indian Penal Code. If the trial is not concluded within six months, petitioner would be entitled to renew his prayer for bail before the trial Court. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
