Petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections 364(A) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the first information report was lodged against unknown persons. However, during the course of investigation, on the basis of the confessional statement of Deepak Kumar, the abducted teachers were recovered by the police on the next day itself. Petitioner’s name surfaced upon the confessional statement of aforesaid Deepak Kumar before the police. The aforesaid co-accused Deepak Kumar has been granted bail by the A.C.J.M. itself on 10.09.2009. Petitioner has been arrested on 05.04.2009. Learned counsel for the State submitted that 2 apart from the statement of the co-accused, Deepak Kumar, the victim abducted teachers in their statements recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. have also disclosed the name of this petitioner as the associate of the co- accused, Hareram with allegation that they had abducted them. It is also stated that it is the case of 1999 and the petitioner was arrested on 05.04.2009 and the charge sheet was submitted in 2007 showing him as absconder. In the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the name of the petitioner has surfaced in the statements of the victim abducted teachers recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. and also the fact that the petitioner has been declared as absconder, as the case is of the year 1999 and the charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner showing him absconder in the year 2007 and also that the petitioner was subsequently arrested on 05.04.2009, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. This application is dismissed. However, if the petitioner is so advised, he may renew the prayer for bail after six months. dk ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J. )
