IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.25519 of 2011 Girdhari Jha Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 3 29-09-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections-364A, 394/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Admittedly, the petitioner is not named in the first information report. The name of this petitioner has come in this case in confessional statement of co-accused persons. The victim has already been recovered and his statement was recorded under section-164 of the Cr.P.C. but the victim has nowhere stated about the involvement of the petitioner in the present crime. Petitioner is in jail custody since 13.03.2011 but he has not been put on TIP though the I.O. has mentioned in the case diary that the victim as well as other witnesses refused to participate in TIP as the accused of this case had given threatening to them. The I.O. has also referred in case diary that the petitioner is involved in several cases of same nature but the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that in all the above-said cases, the name of this petitioner has come in confessional statement of co-accused, Tantan Mishra with whom, the petitioner carries enmity. It appears from perusal of the case diary that almost all the cases of kidnapping instituted - 2 - against this petitioner, were registered in the year, 2010. Taking into consideration the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as well as submission of the parties, let the petitioner, namely, Girdhari Jha be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Laxmipur P.S. Case No. 227 of 2010 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jamui. A.K.Vishwakarma/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
