IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23663 of 2011 Ravindra Singh, Son of Late Hawaldar Singh, resident of village-Tajpur, P.S.-Manjhi, District-Saran at Chapra. ……..Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar ………Opp. Party. ----------- 2. 20.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the State. The petitioner apprehends arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under sections 7 & 8 of the Essential Commodities Act. As per prosecution case, 660 liters of K. Oil besides some empty drums were seized and the persons present there disclosed that the same belong to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in fact the room from which the alleged seizure was made belongs to Uttam Lal, Munna Lal and Dinesh Lal who are all sons of Late Paras Lal and it does not belong to the petitioner but, the persons who disclosed the name of the petitioner before police were employees of said Uttam Lal. I have also seen the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Saran at Chapra, while rejecting the prayer for bail of the petitioner. From perusal thereof, it appears that the Police has taken 2 statement of Uttam lal in course of investigation and he simply shifts his burden upon the petitioner by saying that the same was given to the petitioner on rent but no document was supplied to support the contention. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no concern whatsoever with the alleged room of the house belonging to Uttam Lal and his brothers. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for grant of bail. Taking into consideration the aforesaid submissions advanced by the parties, let the petitioner, namely Ravindra Singh in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from the date of communication of this order, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5,000/- (Five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saran at Chapra in connection with Manjhi P.S. Case No. 35 of 2011. Sanjeet/ (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J.)
