IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.30526 of 2011 Ram Deo Mandal Versus The State Of Bihar --------- 02 14.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. Petitioner seeks modification in the order dated 15.09.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. no. 23418 of 2009 ( Ramdev Mandal and Ors. Vs. State of Bihar). By the aforesaid order the petitioners were granted privilege of anticipatory bail and were directed to surrender within 04 weeks and to furnish bail bond(s). Four petitioners of the said case surrendered and got the privilege of bail as per order dated 15.09.2009. The petitioner did not surrender within the stipulated time. After expiry of close to 02 years the present application has been filed for extension of time for surrender of the petitioner no.1, namely, Ram Deo Mandal in order to reap the benefit of order dated 15.09.2009. Mr. Jagnnath Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the petitioner, during the relevant time, was working on contract basis in Sharjah. He, therefore, could not come to India and appear in Court in accord the order dated 15.09.2009. It is also contended that petitioner undertakes not to leave India till conclusion of the trial. This Court, on going through the pleadings made in the application and after hearing learned counsel for the parties, does not find that any diligent effort was made to obtain extension of the period for surrender of the petitioner as per order dated 15.09.2009. This Court is satisfied that explanations offered by the petitioner are 2 not adequate for allowing the prayer made in the application. Let petitioner surrender before the Court below and apply for bail and raise all issues including the fact that other co-accuseds, similarly placed, have already been released on bail under orders of this Court. Once such application is filed within a reasonable time from today learned trial Court shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law uninfluenced by the present order. The application stands disposed of. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
