IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40853 of 2009 SAGAR YADAV son of late Ratan Yadav, resident of Raipura, P.S.Fatuha, Dist. Patna …..Petitoner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 1.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. Petitioner has been remanded in this case on 24.3.2009 which is Laheri P.S. case no. 2 of 1997. Initially the case was registered under section 414 of the Indian Penal Code but subsequently charge sheet has been filed under sections 364, 379, 411/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that one truck which was hired went missing along with the driver and his associates for which the present case came to be lodged. Submission of the counsel is that he has been in custody with regard to yet another matter i.e. Fatuha P.S. case no. 137 of 1997 since 1997 itself but only now the petitioner has been remanded in this case on the basis of confessional statement. The petitioner has remained in custody for a long period now and if he is released he will cooperate in the trial. There is no question as to why the petitioner was not remanded in this case earlier though the case relates to the year 1997 even if the petitioner has been in custody in yet another matter though the involvement of the petitioner was not very apparent. In that view of the matter, let the above named petitioner be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of C.J.M., Nalanda in the above noted case. One of the sureties will be executed by son of the - 2 - petitioner namely Jitendra Kumar and other by a close relative. The petitioner will cooperate in the trial by appearing himself or through his counsel. (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J) M.Rahman
