The co-accused Raghu Mishra has been granted bail by this Court. The learned Judge who dismissed the prayer for bail of the present petitioner was of the view that the petitioner had just appeared in the case as such he could not be granted bail in spite of the fact that he himself surrendered to custody. As may appear from the rejection order the charges were framed on 25.7.1994 and after remaining on trial for about six years the petitioner appears absenting on 14.3.2000. The reason assigned by the petitioner is that he went out of the state for earning his livelihood because there was absolutely no progress in the trial. The petitioner undertakes to remain present in the court below. Regard being had to the above facts and circumstances, let the above named petitioner be released from custody on furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge(F.T.C)-IInd, Ara in S.Tr.No.457 of 1993(Shahpur P.S.Case No.14 of 1993).
