IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22371 of 2010 BABU RAM SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR THRU.VIGILANCE ----------- 4 17.8.2010 KHAN Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under section7/13(2) read with section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the time for completion of the work expired in the year 2008 itself and thereafter the Government had extended the completion of the work up to 31.3.2010 and as such the allegation that the petitioner demanded a sum of Rs.50,000/- for commencing the work after 31.3.2010 would be an absurd proposition. He submits that the petitioner being the Junior Engineer cannot extend the time fixed by the Government. The petitioner is in custody since 27.4.2010. Counsel for the Vigilance submits that after following the procedure, the petitioner was apprehended with tainted money. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. His prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after two months. (S.P.Singh,J) 2
