IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.30884 of 2011 Ashok Sahani Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 2 01.12.2011 Petitioner who earlier was granted anticipatory bail vide order dated 25.05.2010 in connection with A.B.P. No.1444 of 2009 arising out of Town P.S. Case No.389 of 2009 registered under Sections 341, 323, 504, 379, 307/34 of the I.P.C. by the learned Sessions Judge, East Champaran at Motihari directing that the order was to be enforceable within 20 days of date of order in event of his surrender or arrest, on account of his negligence though pleaded mental ailment, could not avail the same and after a year made a prayer for extension, which was refused by the learned Sessions Judge vide order dated 20-07-2011. The basic fact happens to be bail once granted will continue unless and until the same is cancelled in accordance with law. On merit, the case of the petitioner was already considered by the learned lower court and the privilege which he could not availed on account of lapses on his part, should not have been taken as a ground to block his fate in the manner as indicated in the order impugned. Thus, taking into account submission advanced on 2 behalf of learned counsel for the petitioner, extension is granted to a period of a fortnight from today which should be availed by the petitioner. In case there happens to be repeated default then in that event no extension will be held permissible. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the court concerned by FAX at the cost of the petitioner. PN (Aditya Kumar Trivedi, J.)
