IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22856 of 2008 PRADEEP BISHWAS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 10.11.2008 Heard Mr. Girish Pd. Gupta, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Dashrath Mehta, learned A.P.P. It appears from the report submitted by the Superintendent of Police, Khagaria, that the petitioner was accused in as many as four cases registered against him under section 379 of the Indian Penal Code and Arms Act. The petitioner is in custody in this case relating to theft of a motor-cycle by unknown thieves since 30.1.2008 only because he confessed to his guilt in commissioning several such offences at gun point. The veracity of the confessional statement has been assailed. It is true that the petitioner bears certain criminal antecedents. Considering the materials, let petitioner named above 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Araria, in connection with Forbesganj P.S. case no.400 of 2007 subject to the following conditions :- 1) The petitioner shall report to the nearest police station every week even on Sunday and that attendance shall be recorded in the daily station diary. Any breach in the above condition shall be sufficient for the court below to assume that this - 2 - order had not been passed by this Court and further for taking steps for committing the petitioner to custody. 2) Any report with substantial material about the indulgence of the petitioner in the same or similar nature of offence shall also be sufficient for the court below to act as per the earlier condition. sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha,J )
