IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42559 of 2009 BIDHAN KUMAR @ BHIKHAN RAI @ BHAIKHARI RAI . Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 4 26.3.2010 KHAN Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case under sections 307, 342, 323/34 of the Penal Code. It is alleged by the informant that his minor son Sanjay Kumar was abducted by the petitioner and his father from the Barat party at the point of pistol and when the villagers protested they escaped with the victim boy in a Mango orchard and tried to press his neck. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation is very improbable that in presence of so many persons they would abduct a minor boy. He submits that no case under section 307 of the Penal Code has been made out against the petitioner. The father of the petitioner has already been granted bail by a bench of this court. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. His prayer for bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders and pray for regular bail, the same would be disposed of on the same day and also taking into consideration that the father of the petitioner has already been granted bail by this court.
