IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.41155 of 2008 ***** Md. Chand @ Md. Jaan, son of Md. Maitul, resident of village- Manikpur, P.S. Kathaya, District Muzaffarpur. …. …. Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar …. …. Opposite party ----------- 6. 30.6.2009. Heard learned senior counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. Petitioner is in custody since 26.2.2008 for so-called substantive offences under Sections 363, 366A and 120B of the Indian Penal Code for which Kathaya P.S. Case No.40/2007 was lodged. As per the F.I.R. the petitioner is supposed to have kidnapped the sister of the informant for the purposes of marriage and since there was no information about the whereabouts the F.I.R. in question came to be lodged. Petitioner came to be arrested in the matter and remanded to judicial custody. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that it was a case of love affair and since there was difference of caste amongst the two families the same was not readily accepted and that was the root cause for filing the present case. Even otherwise the petitioner is of a young impressionable age and no purpose would be served by keeping him behind bars since he still has to face trial in the matter and for which his father is willing to take responsibility and an affidavit in this regard has been filed stating the above fact. Keeping in view the time the petitioner has been in custody, let the petitioner, Md. Chand @ Md. Jaan, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties in the - 2 - like amount each to the satisfaction of 9th Additional Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur in connection with Kathaya P.S. Case No.40/2007 (S.T. No.449/2008). One of the sureties will be executed by the father of the petitioner on due identification. It is further recorded that the petitioner shall not abscond and shall appear on each and every date before the trial Court. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
