IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23352 of 2010 MARKENDAY LALL, son of Late Hari Lal, resident of village – Gunsej, P.S. – Dinara, District – Rohtas, at Sasaram. --------------------- Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ---------- Opposite Party. ------- 02. 07.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner who is in custody since 15.02.2002, in connection with Buxar (T) P.S. Case No. 246/2001 (S.T. No. 83/2010) for offences under sections 379, 420, 406, 120B of the Indian Penal Code and 201 of the Indian Penal Code was added. Petitioner’s prayer for bail was earlier refused by me vide order dated 27.05.2010 in Cr. Misc. No. 17795/2010, with a liberty to renew before the trial court after hearing on the point of charge preferably within three months from the date of order. But, as it appears, the petitioner had already been charged on 08.04.2010, the fact which was not in knowledge of members of the Bar appearing on that day, so, it could not be brought into my notice. Taking into consideration, period of detention, stage of the case and further investigation with respect to other accused persons is also continuing and one of the co-accused namely, Dharmendra Paswan, appears to have been enlarged on bail by order dated 25.06.2010 in Cr. Misc. No. 21057/2010 by another Bench of this court. - 2 - Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioner, namely, Markenday Lall, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of sum of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand only) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of Sessions Judge, F.T.C. IV, Buxar, in connection with S.T. No. 83/2010 arising out of Buxar (T) P.S. Case No. 246/2001. Subject to condition to attend the proceedings before the trial court on each and every date at least for two years or till disposal of the case, whichever is earlier, in case of failure on two consecutive dates, the privilege granted shall be deemed to be cancelled.
