IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39 of 2011 UMESH KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH C.B.I. ----------- 4 14.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel appearing for the C.B.I. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Special Case No. 7/10/RC-23(A)20/10 registered under section 7 of the Prevention & Corruption Act. Allegedly, the petitioner was caught red handed taking bribe of Rs 6,000/- while he was working in concerned post office as cashier. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner had not taken any bribe amount rather the allegation maker had given the aforesaid amount to the petitioner to book his some articles. As per procedure the allegation maker had to obtain stamp for the aforesaid booking but the petitioner kept the aforesaid amount in shelf of the aforesaid post office so that allegation make may obtain the stamp in the evening of the aforesaid day. On the otherhand, learned counsel appearing for CBI submits that the petitioner was caught red handed while trap was arranged by the CBI. He further submits that huge amount was also found missing from the treasury of the aforesaid post office. - 2 - In view of the aforesaid submissions as well as facts and circumstances of the case, in my view, it is not a fit case for grant of regular bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail in connection with Special Case No. 7/10/RC-23(A)20/10 stands rejected. However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner even taking it on day-to-day basis. AKV/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
