IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20959 of 2009 PINTU KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 01.07.2009 Heard both sides. The sole petitioner seeks regular bail in a case instituted under Sections 384,386,323,504,379/34 of the Penal Code. The petitioner is named in the F.I.R. with allegation. The date of occurrence is 08.11.2005. As per allegation in the F.I.R., the petitioner demanded ‘rangdari’ and on failure to satisfy the demand it is said that the petitioner snatched a sum of Rs. 800 from the possession of the informant. It is contended that there is no specific allegation against the petitioner and that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State, on the contrary, opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that petitioner was evading arrest for about four years and has surrendered recently on 12.02.2009. Having regard to the submissions and the materials available on record, this court is not persuaded to admit the petitioner to bail. His prayer for bail is rejected. Having regard to the facts noted above, this court, however, grants liberty to the petitioner to renew prayer for bail 2 after five months, if the trial in the meanwhile does not commence.
