1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27646 of 2008 NARAIN SHARMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 18.7.2008 Heard. The learned Sessions Judge, Katihar has dismissed the prayer for bail of the petitioner in a case under Sections 295 and 297 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Prevention of the Witchcraft Protection Act. The learned Judge could not consider as to whether Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code is attracted under the facts of the case. The learned Judge is advised to broad his view and liberate himself from the clutches of seeing the tendency of rejecting the prayer for bail in such cases because he is seen rejecting the prayer in the cases in which a Magistrate could have granted bail. In the facts of the case and in view of the circumstances, let the above named petitioner be directed to be released from custody on his furnishing a bond of Rs. 2000/- 2 ( two thousand) with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar, in Kadwa P.S.Case No. 194 of 2007.
