IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16592 of 2011 Chhotu Singh @ Pranav Kumar Singh @ Babu @ Pranav Kumar, S/O-Lalan Singh Versus The State Of Bihar with Cr.Misc. No.18144 of 2011 Girdhari Jha, S/O-Late Nagendra Jha Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 04 14.10.2011 Both the above stated petitions arise out of Chandan P.S. Case No. 126 of 2010 initially, registered under Section 364 of the Indian Penal Code and subsequently, Sections 364 (A)/120(B) of the Indian Penal Code were also added and accordingly, both the above stated petitions are being disposed of by this common order. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioners are not named in the first information report and their names surfaced in course of investigation in confessional statement of co-accused. Admittedly, Co-accused Tantan Mishra and Ajay Mandal @ Ajay Kumar Mandal have already been granted bail by another Bench of this Court. So far as petitioners are concerned, it appears from perusal of Para-156 of the case diary as well as submissions of learned Additional Public Prosecutor that in course of investigation, it came to light that petitioners were in contact with other co-accused persons prior to the alleged occurrence. Furthermore, I find some criminal antecedent of petitioner in Cr. Misc. No. 16592 of 2011 but it appears that almost all 2 the cases have been registered against the petitioner in the year 2010 and prior to the above stated year, no case had been registered against him. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioners be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Banka in connection with Chandan P.S. Case No. 126 of 2010. SHAHZAD ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
