No.15423 of 2009 AYODHYA SINGH & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 06/05/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State of Bihar. The petitioners were granted anticipatory bail during the period of investigation till submission of charge-sheet. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that no further fresh materials have transpired for submission of charge-sheet beyond what was noticed when anticipatory bail was granted till submission of charge-sheet.

Therefore, it is not to be lightly done, but after proper application of mind on the materials on record during investigation. This application is disposed with the observation that the court below while considering their application for regular bail is not expected to act mechanically, but in accordance with law on basis of the materials in the case diary collected during investigation 2 recording its satisfaction of the need for the petitioners to be kept in custody. Let the order be communicated to the court below by FAX at the cost of the petitioners. KC (Navin Sinha, J.)
