IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36609 of 2008 UMESH RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 29.9.2008 Heard. The case is under Section 395 of the IPC, but it is not the seriousness of the matter. The seriousness is that in spite of being admitted to bail and the case being committed to the Court of Sessions, the petitioner did not appear before the Court of Sessions forcing the court to declare him as absconder under Section 299 of the Cr. P.C. It is true that the petitioner is in custody since 16.6.2008 on account of being arrested in execution of the permanent warrant issued under Section 299 of the Cr. P.C., but another accused Naresh Rai is still absconding and he did so since prior to the commitment of the case. The petition is dismissed. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J)
