IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38833 of 2010 SONU PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR -------- 03/ 18.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for the State. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Chowk P.S. Case no. 44 of 2010 initially, registered under section 302/34 of the IPC and 27 of the Arms Act but after completion of investigation the police submitted charge sheet under sections 396, 412, 120B of the IPC and 27of the Arms Act. Although several paragraphs of the case diary have been referred by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge in his impugned order but from perusal of the impugned order, it appears to me that name of this petitioner came in this case in the confessional statement of co- accused and except the above stated confessional statement as well as criminal antecedent of the petitioner, there is no cogent evidence available to show complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime. Considering the aforesaid circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, above named petitioner (Sonu Paswan) is directed to be released on bail in connection with Chowk P.S. Case no. 44/2010 on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patnacity. Since the petitioner carries criminal antecedent, one of the sureties must be close relative of the petitioner. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J) - 2 -
