IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.709 of 2009 KIRTI YADAV @ KRITI YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Bhola Prasad, Advocate For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhaya, A.P.P. ------ 4 24.4.2009 Petitioner KIRTI YADAV @ KRITI YADAV, one of the FIR named accused of Pirpanty P.S. Case No. 142 of 2002 is in custody since 14.4.2008. No direct allegation has been made against this petitioner of having kidnapped the victim Niranjan Mandal although he in his statement under section 161 Cr.P.C. has named the petitioner. Unfortunately for reasons best known to the Investigating Officer the statement of the victim was not recorded under section 164 Cr.P.C. which could have given a seal of authority on the statement under section 161 Cr.P.C. In that view of the matter petitioner KIRTI YADAV @ KRITI YADAV is directed to be released on bail on 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, FTC No. II, Bhagalpur, in connection with S.T.
