IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.33109 of 2008 RUDRA NARAYAN LAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2/ 13.8.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Spl.P.P. appearing on behalf of the C.B.I. The petitioner seeks bail in Special Case No. 15 of 2006 (R.C.No. 18(A) of 2006) which has been registered for offences under Sections 120(B),409,420,467,468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, the prayer for bail of the petitioner has been rejected twice, firstly on 31.1.2008 and secondly on 4.6.2008. The role attributed in this case of defalcation to the petitioner is that he had verified 15 non-existent loan accounts and had passed withdrawal slips of two non-existent loan accounts by using his ID in the computer. He had also verified the opening of 12 existent loan account. Submission is that the petitioner is not named in the first information report and subsequent to the rejection orders for prayer for bail of this petitioner, another co-accused Ashok Kumar Sinha, who was named accused, has been granted bail by Hon’ble Supreme Court. It appears that the Hon’ble Supreme Court has granted bail to co-accused Ashok Kumar Sinha considering the fact that he has already remained in 2 jail custody for more than one year. The prayer for bail of other accused persons have also been rejected by this Court. There is no fresh ground to reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is again rejected. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
