Anandpur O.P., Chandan, District-Banka ---------- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04 07-03-2011 Heard Sri Rajiv Ranjan Jha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Abhay Kumar, learned Addl.Public Prosecutor. The petitioner, who is in custody in Katoria P.S. Case No.8 of 2007 for the offence under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code, has prayed for grant of bail on the ground that the accused persons, on whose confession the petitioner was made accused, have already been granted bail. This fact has been mentioned in paragraph-7 of the bail petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that save and except the confessional statement of co-accused, there is nothing on record to connect the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State has strongly opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. It was submitted that the petitioner was an absconder and also he is having criminal antecedent. In view of the fact that co-accused, on whose confession the petitioner has been made accused, have already been granted bail, there is no reason to deny the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Let the petitioner above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- ( Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C.No.1, Banka in Sessions Case 2 No. 744 of 2010 arising out of Katoria P.S.
