IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37098 of 2009 Shankar Sahni, Son of Kodai Sahni, Resident of Village Balawa, Ward No. 5, P.S. Jaleshwar, District Mohtary, Nepal. --------- Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar ----------- Opp. Party ----------- 2 5.11.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering the nature of allegation against the petitioner confined under Section 25(1-B) A/35 of the Arms Act and the recovery of three cartridges from the conscious possession of the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner taking into account that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent and he is in custody since 22.5.2009. The petitioner, however, is a permanent resident of Nepal who is said to have been married in the district of Sitamarhi and therefore, the petitioner, namely, Shankar Sahni would be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, which must be of his close relatives of his Sasural, namely, either father-in-law or mother-in-law or brother-in-law, to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, 2 Sitamarhi in connection with Sonbarsa P.S. Case No. 42 of 2009. It is, however, made clear that such bail bond of-course would remain subject to the petitioner appearing regularly and punctually in course of trial and the trial court would be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner if the petitioner absents himself on two consecutive dates.
