IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41807 of 2010 BHOGENDRA KAMAT Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 21.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner prays for bail in a case under Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for recovery of 235 litres of Kerosene Oil, the drums containing which bore the licence number of the petitioner, the petitioner ought not to have been implicated in this case as it is evident that according to the direction of the Sub- divisional Officer, he had supplied the entire amount of Kerosene Oil received by him on 29.9.2007 to another dealer, Somendra Kamat, and hence whatever recovery was made from the house of Rajendra Sah could not be attributed to him. It is also submitted by learned counsel that the petitioner is languishing in jail for nearly four months since 28.8.2010. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner, Bhogendra Kamat, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with - 2 - two sureties of the like amount each in Nanpur P.S. Case No.92 of 2007 (G.R.No.422/2007) to the satisfaction of the Sub-divisional Judicial Magistrate, Pupri, Sitamarhi. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
