IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22385 of 2009 MD.MUSHTAQUEEM @ BHUNA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 21.07.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under section 395 IPC. Subsequently, section 412 IPC was added in this case. As per allegations in the FIR, few unknown criminals committed dacoity in the house of the informant in which several articles including a mobile phone were looted. It appears that the mobile phone allegedly looted in course of dacoity has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. The statement of co-accused Ashok Kumar disclosed that he had made over the said mobile phone to his associate. It further appears that the seizure list witnesses have supported the allegations of recovery of looted mobile phone from the possession of the petitioner. The petitioner is stated to be in custody since 6.3.2009. In the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to this petitioner. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. The petitioner, however, may renew his prayer for bail after nine months from the date of receipt/communication of this order in the court below, if in the meanwhile the case is not taken up for hearing. hr ( Kishore K.
