IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9757 of 2008 BACHCHU MAHTO @ BACHU MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 03/07/2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State. The informant’s uncle Devonandan Mahto was killed and his younger brother Shiv Kumar was kidnapped. In course of investigation the victim of kidnapping Shiv Kumar has stated that the persons who kidnapped him have also taken name of this petitioner. Submission is that the petitioner is in custody since more than two years and there is progress in the trial. Considering the allegation that one person was killed and one was kidnapped and the victim of kidnapping has taken name of this petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge him on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail in the court below after examination of the victim of kidnapping. avin.
