IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27422 of 2008 MAHENDRA MANDAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 11.9.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on 17.4.2007 in Cr.Misc.No. 5843 of 2007 mentioning “at that stage” while granting bail to other two co-accused. Submission is that at that time the case was even not committed. Now the case has been committed to the court of sessions, trial has begun and three prosecution witnesses have been examined but none of them have supported the prosecution version. The allegations are general in nature and there is no specific allegation against the petitioner. He is in jail custody since 5.12.2006. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioner Mahendra Mandal be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court No.III, Katihar in Sessions Trial No. 123 of 2007.
