IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31203 of 2008 NANDLAL YADAV @ NANDLAL CHAUDHARY ….. PETITIONER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ….. OPP. PARTY For the petitioner : - Sri Ajay Mishra, Advocate For the O.P. : - Sri D. Mehta, APP ----------- 3. 10.11.2008 Heard Sri Ajay Mishra, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri D. Mehta, APP for the State. The case is under Section 364A of the IPC and the petitioner is not named in the FIR. A co-accused Kanhaiya Rajbhar, who was arrested and he confessed to his guilt before the police on 7.1.2008 and during that course he indicated to the police that the petitioner was one of the gange members indulging in the offence. The said Kanhaiya Rajbhar also pointed out the place where the kidnapped child had been confined and accordingly, a search was made and the boy was recovered. These facts remained under the wraps of confidentiality so that the gange members reached the house of the victim for collecting the ransom and so they did. Three persons arrived at the house of the victim for collecting ransom. Police was on wait and it ponded upon the petitioner, two companions of the petitioner making good their escape. This is the circumstance under which the - 2 - prayer for bail of the petitioner has been made. Regard being had to the consistency in the story and some clinching evidence in that connection, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner Nandlal Yadav @ Nandlal Chaudhary. The petition is dismissed. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
