No.11605 of 2009 preferred by Kumod Kumar Mandal and Criminal Misc. No.13098 of 2009 preferred by Raman Kumar Singh and Shailendra Singh alias Shailendra Kumar Singh, have been taken up together as they arise of the same Rajoun P.S. Case No.159 of 2008 and having been heard together they are being disposed of by this common order. The petitioner Kumod Kumar Mandal has been named as F.I.R. named accused on the basis of the confessional statement of the petitioners of Criminal Misc. No.13098 of 2009 who were arrested at the spot. The petitioners of Criminal Misc. No.13098 of 2009 are alleged to have seized a passenger vehicle bearing Registration No.JH-04B-2461 acting as agents of the financier. Nothing has been produced to show that the petitioners of Criminal Misc. No.13098 of 2009 were indeed the agents of the financier and were acting on their behest. - 2 - To seize and take away the vehicle without proper authorization does amount to an offence which the petitioners are alleged to have committed. In view of the seriousness of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners, Raman Kumar Singh and Shailednra Singh alias Shailendra Kumar Singh of Criminal Misc. No.13098 of 2009. Their prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. They may renew their prayer for bail after six months. So far as petitioner, Kumod Kumar Mandal, is concerned, his name has come in the confessional statement of co-accused and apart from that there is no other material to show his connectivity with the aforesaid crime. In the aforesaid situation, the petitioner, Kumod Kumar Mandal, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Banka, in connection with Rajoun P.S. Case No.159 of 2008. P.S. (Abhijit Sinha,J)
