IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26836 of 2010 BHARAT MEHTA @ BHARAT KUMAR MEHTA, S/o Bihari Mehta. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 06.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 364A of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is not named in the First Information Report. Subsequently, his name transpired in the confessional statement of the co- accused that he was also involved in kidnapping for ransom of the alleged victim. Considering the serious nature of the offence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it within a reasonable time. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
