IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20653 of 2009 1. Kari Sahni 2. Ram Vrikash Sahni……………………..Petitioners. Versus The State of Bihar …………………………Opposite Party. ----------- 3. 25. 07. 2009. Heard both sides. Petitioners seek bail in a case registered under diverse Sections of Indian Penal Code including 364 I.P.C. as also 27 of the Arms Act. Altogether, eleven accused persons are named in the F.I.R. The allegation is that they arrived at the house of the informant armed with lethal weapons and assaulted the father of the informant. It is also alleged that they also kidnapped his father. The admitted position is that father of the informant returned after some time. Learned counsel submits that there is an animosity between the parties which will reflect from Annexure-2 which is complaint lodged by the wife of Petitioner No.2 against the informant and his father. It is contended that similarly situated co-accused persons have been granted bail by this Court under order dated 02. 07. 2008 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 22623 of 2008. Petitioners are said to be in custody since 21.11.2008 and 13. 11. 2008 respectively. From the impugned order, it appears that the trial is going on and likely to be concluded within a few months. 2 Having regard to the fact that similarly situated co-accused have been set free on similar allegation by this Court, this Court does not find any ground as to why the same relief be not granted to these petitioners also. In the facts and circumstances, let the petitioners named above be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur, in connection with Sessions Trial No. 148/09/601/07, subject to the conditions that the petitioners shall present themselves on each and every date fixed at the trial and in case of default on two consecutive dates, the trial court shall cancel their bail bonds and ensure their arrest in accordance with law.
