IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42613 of 2010 1. Ranjeet Kumar Roy@ Ranjit Roy @ Kalu Roy, Son of Sogen Ray, resident of Village-Kajipura, P.S. Azamnagar, District-Katihar 2. Sapan Ray @ Sopan Ray, Son of Manhe Ray, resident of Village- Jhaua Paghau, P.S. Azamnagar, District-Katihar -------------------Petitioners Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 18-01-2011 Heard Sri Bimal Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Sanjay Kumar Sharma, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. Two petitioners, who are F.I.R. named accused in Azam Nagar P.S. Case No. 72 of 2010 for the offence under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code and are in jail, have prayed for grant of bail. It is a case of committing dacoity on road. The informant and others were looted by accused persons. The petitioners were named as accused in the F.I.R. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that one of the co-accused, namely, Sagar Rai , whose case stands on similar footing of the petitioners, has already been extended the privilege of bail by this Court on 12.10.2010 vide Cr.Misc.No.37486 of 2010. Accordingly, it has been prayed that the petitioners may be granted bail. Learned Addl. Public Prosecutor has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioners. However, he is not in a position to say that the petitioners case is not similar to the accused Sagar Rai, who has been granted bail. 2 Since co-accused, whose case is on similar footing, has been granted bail, there is no reason to deny the privilege of bail to the petitioners. Let the petitioners above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10, 000/-(ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar in connection with Azamnagar P.S. Case No.72 of 2010. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
