Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 4.3.2009 Heard Sri Dipak Ranjan, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri Dasrath Mehta, APP for the State. Other named accused persons have been admitted to bail by the Sessions Judge itself as appears indicated by the statement made in paragraph 9 of the present petition. In that light, let petitioner Md. Munna @ Guddu be released from custody on furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali at Hajipur in connection with Hajipur P.S. Case No. 149 of 2008. The Sessions Judge has mentioned about non- taking of cognizance by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hajipur in spite of submission of charge sheet. The learned Judge has not indicated as to when the charge sheet was submitted and for how long or for how many months the order of cognizance was not passed in a case in which the accused could be in custody. But it could at least be gathered that the lapse was serious. I direct the learned - 2 - Sessions Judge to make a report to this court as to what was the date on which the Chief Judicial Magistrate had signed the charge sheet and order to that effect was passed on which date and what was the date of order of cognizance passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate after receipt of his direction in his Bail Petition No. 1912 of 2008. The report shall be placed before the Hon’ble Inspecting Judge of Hajipur Judgeship for needful. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
