No.22003 of 2009 JAGDISH PATEL, SON OF SHANKAR PATEL, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE DHANKUTWA, JAGIRIA TOLA, POLICE STATION- BALTHAR,DISTRICT-WEST CHAMPARAN…………..PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR…………………………OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. B.N. Mishra, Advocate. For the State : Mr. R.P.S. Singh, A.P.P. ----------- 3. 6.10.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. Petitioner has been made accused in a case registered under Section 364-A of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the F.I.R. was lodged against unknown person. Two persons, namely, Bipin Singh and Rama Shankar Singh have been kidnapped and it is also alleged that demand of ransom was made but one of the victim, after his return, has not named this petitioner whereas the other victim has named him to be a main person in the commission of the alleged kidnapping. It is submitted that suspicion has been raised with regard to the involvement of the petitioner as a main person in the alleged kidnapping. It is also submitted that co-accused persons have been granted bail by a Bench of this Court vide Annexure-2 to the application. Petitioner is in jail custody since 22.8.2008. Learned A.P.P. for the State submitted that the case of the petitioner is entirely different from the case of the co-accused who - 2 - have been granted bail as none of the victim had named them whereas this petitioner has been named by one of the kidnapped persons as the main person behind the occurrence. Having regard to the facts and the circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. As a result, this application is dismissed. However, the petitioner, if so advised, may renew his prayer for bail after six months. P.S. (Dr. Ravi Ranjan,J)
