Case No. 280 of 2007 registered under sections 302/201/34 IPC and who is in custody since 7.11.2008 in connection therewith. So far as the written report, which forms the basis of the FIR, is concerned the only allegation is that the informant had gone to the house of the petitioner to inquire about his younger brother Munna Kumar and although at the end of the written report a prayer has been made for action against Munna Kumar, the police in its wisdom has also included the name of the petitioner as one of the accused in the F.I.R. That apart, it is Munna Kumar, who has confessed his guilt and also stated about the involvement of his brother in the alleged murder of Jagdish Bhagat, driver of the vehicle belonging to the informant. It also appears that the vehicle of the informant, driver whereof was the deceased, was booked up by Munna Kumar and not the petitioner. In the facts and circumstances of the case the petitioner MANTU KUMAR is directed to be released on bail on 2 furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Presiding Judge, Fast Track Court No. VI, Patna in connection with Sessions Trial No. 470 of 2008 arising out of G.R.P.P.S.
