IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21307 of 2010 MD. MOKHTAR @ MD. MUKHTAR & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5 28.10.2010 Heard learned counsel appearing for petitioners, namely, Md. Mokhtar @ Md. Mukhtar, Md. Tahir, Shish Mohammad @ Sis Mohammad, Akhtar @ Md Akhtar Hussain and Amir Hussain who apprehend their arrest in connection with Amdabad P.S. Case No. 9 of 2008 registered under sections 15, 18, 25 and 29 of the NDPS Act. Also heard learned counsel for the state. Admittedly, petitioners are neither named in the F.I.R. nor the land on which poppy crop was alleged to have been cultivated belong to the petitioners. It appears from perusal of the impugned order as well as submissions of learned counsel for the state that no cogent material has been collected to show the complicity of the petitioners in the alleged crime. Petitioners do not have any criminal antecedent. Therefore, considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I think it proper to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, this anticipatory bail petition is allowed. It is ordered that the petitioners above-named in the event of arrest/surrender within 30 days from the date of receipt of the order shall be 2 released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Amdabad P.S. Case No. 9 of 2008 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar subject to the conditions as laid down u/S 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
