IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.36871 of 2011 Gita Devi Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 3 21-12-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is in jail custody since 20-05-2011 in a case registered under Section-20 of NDPD Act. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by this court vide order dated 19-08-2011 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 24156 of 2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner drew my attention towards Annexure-3 to this petition which is a paper cutting and submitted that as a matter of fact, the alleged recovery had been made from the house of one, Sanjay Paswan but the petitioner has been roped in this case inasmuch as, the police wanted to nab the husband of the petitioner. It is further contended by him that even if it assumed that the alleged recovery has been made from the house of the petitioner, then also, the petitioner is not responsible for the seized Ganja rather it was her husband who may be made responsible for the above-said seized Ganja. It is further contended by him that the petitioner, being a lady, is languishing in jail custody since long having a child in her lap. Considering the facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, particularly, report of learned trial - 2 - court that except the I.O. , almost all the witnesses have already been examined, the petitioner, namely, Gita Devi is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Katihar (Town) P.
