IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22163 of 2011 Rasbihari Mandal Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 02/ 22nd July 2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Executive Engineer, Flood Protection Department, Naugachhia endorsed a complaint of a contractor engaged in execution of Government work disclosing therein with regard to threatening/demand of ransom by unknown criminals who also managed to decamp with wrist watch, transistor and cash. The most ridiculous feature of the instant case is that the occurrence is of the year 1999 and petitioner has been remanded in this case and is in custody since 17.1.2011. From the order of the lower court, it does not transpire whether charge-sheet has been submitted or not. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner, Rasbihari Mandal is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Katihar in connection with Manihari P.S. Case no. 2 48/1999 subject to the condition that future involvement in similar type of occurrence will disentitle him to continue with the privilege. perwez (Aditya Kumar Trivedi,J.)
