IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38455 of 2008 CHHOTELAL BAITHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 09.01.2009 Heard Sri Anand Kishor Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri Dasrath Mehta, APP for the State. The petitioner is a pick pocket. He was caught on having picked the pocket of the informant. The money was recovered. The contention is that the petitioner is in custody since 4.5.2008 and that he was administered quite a good amount of beating by the persons on being caught. Regard being had to the offence, which was committed in the compartment of a train, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner. The petition is dismissed. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
