Singhwara, District Darbhanga Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 05.03.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code as far back as on 31.5.1997. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has been implicated in this case on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused Lal Baboo @ Lal Mohammad and Phool Baboo, who have been admitted to the privilege of bail, as is evident from order dated 12.1.1998, Annexure-2. If the petitioner was aware about the order dated 12.1.1998, Annexure-2, then he should have applied for bail earlier and not after 11 years of the lodging of the case. In the circumstances, I direct the petitioner to surrender in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Darbhanga in connection with Singhwara P.S.
