IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3772 of 2011 Rabi Mehta, S/O-Late Ram Pukar Mehta Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 04 29.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is languishing in jail custody since 16.08.2010 in a case registered under Sections 384 and 386 of the Indian Penal Code on the allegation that he demanded Rs. 50,000/- in extortion and also assaulted the informant with butt of gun and furthermore, he snatched the horse from the informant. The petitioner has criminal antecedent of five cases and admittedly, the alleged occurrence took place in the year 2007 and he could be remanded in the present case on 16.08.2010. The report of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saharsa reveals that up-till-now even police papers could not be supplied to the petitioner and other accused. In the aforesaid circumstance, I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Sour Bazar P.S. Case No. 290 of 2007, stands rejected. However, learned trial court is directed to take serious steps for supply of police papers to the petitioner and other accused persons. The petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of the charge. SHAHZAD ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
