IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13703 of 2010 MANOJ MISTRY @ MANOJ SHARMA, SON OF SIKANDAR SHARMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 11.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 364(A) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. It has been submitted that Arun Das have been granted bail and the petitioner is also entitled to bail. However, I am not inclined to accept this submission and in my view, the kidnapping for ransom is very serious offence. Considering that in the confessional statement of the co-accused Arun Das, it transpired that the petitioner along with other co-accused persons were handed over the custody of the kidnapped boy for purposes of ransom, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
