IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1969 of 2009 SUDAMA THAKUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 17.04.2009 Heard learned counsel for SUDAMA THAKUR who find himself in custody again in connection with Kurhani P.S. Case No. 114 of 1994, G.R. No. 852 of 1994 for having misused the privilege of bail. He is in custody since 6.12.2008. The petitioner is facing charges under sections 279, 337 and 427 IPC all of which are bailable sections but at the same time he absented from the Court for almost three years, thereby making himself liable for judicial custody. However, as he has been incarcerated for about 4 months now and to my view he has sufficiently been punished. In the facts and circumstances of the case the petitioner SUDAMA THAKUR is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of Sri Lal Bahadur, Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Muzaffarpur or his successor in office in connection with Kurhani P.S. Case No. 114 of 1994, G.R. No. 852 of 1994. It is made clear that the petitioner shall be present in 2 Court on all dates fixed. It is also directed that since the case is of the 1994 and under bailable sections the Court in seisin of the case shall dispose of the same expeditiously, preferably within a period of 9 months from the date of receipt of the order.
