No.35578 of 2008 BRIJ KISHORE SINGH @ BRAJ KISHORE SINGH SON OF LATE NAG NARAYAN SINGH RESIDENT OF VILLAGE DUDHA MATHIA,P.S.MAJHAULIA,DISTRICT EAST CHAMPARAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4/ 14.1.2009 Since both the above applications arise out of one and the same police case, they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case which has been registered for offences under Sections 386,388 and 306/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioners are named in the suicidal note which has been recovered from deceased Pankaj Kumar in which it is written that he was committing suicide on account of pressure of the accused persons. Common submission on behalf of the petitioners is that in course of investigation, a number of witnesses have stated that the deceased had taken money from some persons including the petitioners for getting admitted in different Professional Branches but neither admission had taken place nor money was returned. So, the money was demanded by the petitioners. While opposing the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners, learned counsel appearing for the informant submits that on account of pressure having been given by the petitioners for returning the money, Pankaj Kumar was impelled to commit suicide. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State submits that different bank drafts and cheques issued by the deceased show the pressure by the petitioners for returning the amount. In this case, there does not appear any abetment to suicide or any extortion by the petitioners. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, both the applications are allowed and the petitioners of both the applications are directed to surrender before the court below within twenty days from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and on their so surrendering, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, East Champaran, Motihari in Chhatauni P.S.Case No. 46 of 2008 subject to the condition as laid down in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
