IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31613 of 2010 MINTU SINGH YADAV @ MANTU YADAV @ GOBARDHAN YADAV, S/o Late Ram Adhar Singh Yadav @ Ramadhar Yadav. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 24.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 364A of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is not named in the First Information Report which has been instituted for kidnapping for purposes of ransom. The victim was unfortunately done to death even before the ransom was paid. When the confession of the co-accused Wakil Singh was recorded he stated that he had met the petitioner in Benaras Jail but co-accused Rajesh Singh specifically stated the petitioner’s role in accepting the ransom amount even after the victim was done to death. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and take all steps for production of the petitioner if he is still in the Jail at Benaras. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
