PARTY. ----------- 07. 14.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are accused in a case under Sections 379 and 411 of the Penal Code registered in regard to theft of copper wire of the Electricity Board valued at Rs.30,000/-. They have been implicated in this case at the instance of the co-accused leading to recovery of the stolen wire made from the house of Firoj Ansari and his brother Md. Feku Ansari @ Md. Pheku Ansari and appreciating such recovery prayer of the aforesaid two petitioners for grant of bail is refused, although they have remained in jail custody with effect from 28.5.2008 and15.11.2008 respectively. 2 So far petitioner Akarm Khan is concerned, there is no recovery from his house but his antecedent is not clean, his prayer is also rejected. The seizure of the copper wire from the house of Firoj Ansari and his brother Md. Feku Ansari @ Md. Pheku Ansari is being disputed on the ground that the seizure list does not contain their signature. Such submission cannot be appreciated at this state as two independent witnesses have signed the seizure list As the petitioners have already remained in custody for more than a year, trial court(Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rohtas at Sasaram) is directed to expedite the trial in connection with Dehri(Town) P.S. Case No. 112 of 2008. Rajesh/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
