IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28322 of 2008 SURESH RAVIDAS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 24.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. Petitioner is in custody in relation to Complaint Case No.1357 of 2002 for an offence under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code. Contention of the petitioner is that the petitioner and the complainant are on litigating terms and are in fact gotiyas and except for the statement of the complainant and two other persons no body has come forward to support the case of the complainant. It is a case therefore of false implication. There is no cogent explanation why petitioner has surrendered before the court only in 2008. Presumption is that he has been evading the court and rigours of trial. But on a categorical statement made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner shall now appear before the court on each and every date either through himself or through his counsel and would not abscond and shall co-operate with the trial of the case, let the petitioner Suresh Ravidas be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purnea in connection with Complaint Case no. 1357 of 2002 with a condition that one of the sureties shall be - 2 - executed by the father of the petitioner. If the petitioner ignores any direction the court below will have liberty to cancel the bail and take him into custody forthwith. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
