IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.47823 of 2008 MD.NASIM & MANJIT PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 4.12.2008 Heard Sri S. Parasmani, Advocate for the petitioners and the learned A.P.P. for the State. While the petitioners were found indulged in cutting electric transmission wire and when they had cut the wire at one pole there was a hue and cry raised by the villagers who also rushed and caught three persons and petitioners were amongst them. The contention is that the offence was not yet completed, it was merely in the realm of an attempt and for that the petitioners have remained in custody for about three months. Frequency of reports of such incidence has put the court on alarm inasmuch the serious is not that the public properties are vandalized by theft but because the community is in inconvenience by the snapping of the power supply which could take many years in being restored. Petition is dismissed. The above named two petitioners may renew their prayer for bail after having completed one year of confinement from the day of their remand in the case. B.Kr.
