IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.14635 of 2008 ABHISHEK KUMAR @ ABHISEK KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ******* 2 08.05.2008 Heard Counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. representing the State. This is the second attempt on the part of the petitioner seeking bail under Sections 20/22 of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Earlier, the application for bail on behalf of the petitioner was rejected on merit by this Court by order dated 21.03.2007 in Criminal Misc. No. 6517 of 2007. Counsel for the petitioner submits that subsequent to the aforementioned rejection, this Court has granted bail to two other co-accused persons, namely, Sunil Kumar and Prabhat Kumar @ Banti by orders dated 27.02.2008 and 24.03.2008 in Criminal Misc. Nos. 56406 of 2007 and 12602 of 2008 respectively and the case of the petitioner stands on the identical footing as would be apparent from the perusal of the First Information Report. Considering the fact that after rejection of the bail of the petitioner, two other co-accused persons having exactly similar allegations have already been granted bail by this Court, this Court directs release of the petitioner Abhishek Kumar @ Abhisek Kumar on bail in Kadam Kuan 2 Police Station Case No. 701 of 2005 (Special Case No. 44 of 2005) on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Additional Sessions Judge IX, Patna with condition that one of the sureties must be either the mother or the wife of the petitioner.
