IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31067 of 2009 MUKESH KUMAR SINGH @ MUKESH KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 11.09.2009 Heard both sides. Sole petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Sections 420, 506 and 120B of the Penal Code. Allegation is that this petitioner and his wife persuaded the complainant to buy a land with ‘Khapraposh’ construction thereon. Subsequently, they persuaded the complainant to give the premise to some person. The other person occupied the said premise and paid rent for some months. Subsequently the said tenant asserted title on the strength of a sale-deed executed by the wife of the petitioner earlier to the sale-deed executed in favour of the complainant. Learned counsel for the petitioner, with reference to the averments made in the bail application, asserted that the main culprit in the present case is the wife of the petitioner. There is no assertion that the consideration money was paid to and received by the petitioner. This court, for the present, believes the statement of the husband as that is the petitioner. In the facts and circumstances of the case, petitioner, named above, is directed to 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 the Judicial Magistrate, Ist 2 Class, Barh, Patna in connection with Complaint case no. 169 (C) of 2008 , subject to the condition that one of the bailors should be the own/close family member of the petitioner.
