IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.12287 of 2009 TRIPURARI KUMAR THAKUR, son of Late Binay Kumar Thakur, Resident of village- Kalyanpur, P.S. Belsar, District- Vaishali at Hajipur. . . . . . Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 28.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is in custody since 11.10.2006 for offence under Sections 392, 307, 411 of the Indian Penal Code read with several Sections of the Arms Act. The case in question is Hajipur Sadar P.S. case no. 378 of 2006. No doubt the earlier effort of the petitioner to secure bail has failed because his applications have been rejected. In one of the last order which came to be passed, the court had recorded that if the trial is not concluded within a period of six months, petitioner may have liberty to renew his prayer for bail. That was on 18.12.2007. The allegation is that petitioner along with another co- accused waylaid the informant, snatched his motorcycle and Rs.500/- from the pocket of the informant. He also fired but the informant turned out to be lucky. Petitioner was arrested on the spot by the police on an alarm being raised. It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that the report of the learned trial court is that due to non- availability of the Presiding Officer, more witnesses could not be examined. Now efforts are on in this regard. It is categorically stated by the counsel representing the petitioner that if petitioner is released on bail he will appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court and shall not abscond and cooperate all the way. In this regard his - 2 - close family members will be ready to take responsibility. The present affidavit in the bail application has been sworn by one Madan Mohan Singh, who claims himself to be the father-in-law of the petitioner. It is pleaded that the petitioner has remained in custody for a long time. Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court No I, Vaishali at Hajipur in connection with S.T. No. 42 of 2008 (Hajipur P.S. Case No. 378 of 2006). One of the sureties will be executed by so called Madan Mohan Singh, father-in-law of the petitioner on due identification and the other will be executed by either the mother of the petitioner or by a close relative. Petitioner is directed to appear in person on each and every date of the trial and any default on his part may bar him from privilege of bail which has been extended to him in this case.
