IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14634 of 2009 JAGGU YADAV @ RAJDEV YADAV, son of Sri Ramdeo Yadav, resident of village – Ganhar, P S – Magadh University, District – Gaya. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 20.05.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. Petitioner is in custody since 26.8.2008 in connection with Barachati (Mohanpur) P S Case no. 104 of 2003 for the offence under sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 325 of the Indian Penal Code read with section 17 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that other offences are bailable as such in nature and for section 17 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act maximum punishment is six months. So the petitioner has spent enough time in custody. He deserves to be enlarged on bail. From the perusal of the order passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge it emerges that the petitioner is involved in many other cases and it is alleged that he is active member of the extremist group namely MCC and there are other similar cases against him. If that be so, then in the interest of justice trial of these cases need to be expedited. So far as the present case is concerned, looking at the offence alleged the Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Let petitioner Jaggu Yadav alias Rajdeo Yadav be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- with two sureties of the - 2 - like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sherghati in Barachati (Mohanpur) P S Case No. 104 of 2003 with direction that one of the sureties will be executed by the father of the petitioner on due identification by the court below. The Court further directs that petitioner shall report to the nearest police station i.e. Barachati (Mohanpaur) Police Station atleast once in a month and report about his activity. In case the petitioner absconds or misuses the privilege of bail it will be open to the prosecution to seek cancellation of his bail. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
