Ramanand Paswan, son of Ahlad Paswan, resident of Mohall Chapki, P.S. Sadar Darbhanga, District Darbhanga … Petitioners Versus STATE OF BIHAR …..Opposite party ----------- 02/ 12.12.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are accused in a case under Sections 457 and 380 of the Indian Penal Code registered in connection with theft of four empty gas cylinders. Petitioner no.2 is named by the two thieves, who were apprehended near the place of occurrence. One gas cylinder was recovered from each of the petitioners. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner no.1 that the gas cylinder recovered from him belonged to Manoj Sah, who had kept the same in his house for replacement from the gas agency. Petitioner no.2 has not been able to name the person as to who kept the gas cylinder in his house. In the circumstances, at this stage, I am not inclined to admit petitioner no.2, Ramanand Paswan to the privilege of bail. His application for grant of bail is rejected as he has not even completed one year in jail custody. Let petitioner no.1, Shatrughan Paswan be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5,000/- (Rs. Five thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to 2 the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Darbhanga in connection with L.N.M.U. P.S.
