IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12229 of 2009 HORIL SINGH @ RAKESH SINGH son of Late Ram Jus Singh Resident of village Padumker,P.S.Patahi,Distt.East Champaran Versus STATE OF BIHAR With Cr.Misc. No.12231 of 2009 JANAB SINGH @ AMRENDRA SINGH @ AMRENDRA KUMAR son of Rajendra Singh, resident of village Padumker,P.S.Patahi,Distt.East Champaran Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 7.7.2009 Both the above applications have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order as they have arisen out of one occurrence. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner Horil Singh alias Rakesh Singh and others were rejected on 18.9.2008 in Cr.Misc.No. 15634 of 2008 and its analogous two applications. The case relates to kidnapping of informant’s grant son Krishan Kumar. In course of investigation, the kidnappers negotiated for release of kidnapped boy on payment of ransom amount. Thereafter, payment was made. At that time, the petitioners and others were present. Even after payment, the boy was not released. From earlier order it appears that prayer for bail of the petitioner Horil Singh alias Rakesh Singh and others were rejected mainly on the ground that the prayer for bail of co-accused Jai Mangal Singh, Sheoji Singh, Arbind Singh and Bhola Dubey was rejected. In course of investigation, it has come that as per direction of Bhola Dubey and others , the payment was made in presence of these petitioners. Subsequently, Bhola Dubey has been granted bail on - 2 - 18.12.2008 Vide Cr.Misc.No. 50871 of 2008. It has been submitted that both the petitioners namely, Horil Singh alias Rakesh Singh and Janab Singh alias Amrendra Singh alias Amrendra Kumar are in jail custody since 14.8.2006. As the co- accused Bhola Dubey has been granted bail, so the circumstances has changed. While opposing the prayer for bail, learned counsel appearing for the informant submitted that the case of the petitioners is not similar to that of co-accused Bhola Dubey. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case the above named petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge I, Sitamarhi in Sessions Trial No. 553 of 2007.
