IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8842 of 2011 Bindu Singh, S/O- Late Bharat Singh Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 04 14.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Learned counsel for the petitioner sought the bail of the petitioner on the ground that having similar allegation, co-accused Manoj Singh has already been granted privilege of bail and furthermore, neither any direct nor any circumstantial evidence is available against the petitioner but I am not, at all, convinced with his submission because the impugned order of learned Additional Sessions Judge reveals that in course of investigation, it came to light that petitioner had demanded extortion money through his mobile phone while he had been lodged in jail custody. Furthermore, I find that this petitioner carries altogether 62 criminal cases in his credit. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as previous record of the petitioner, I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Kadamkuan (Kankarbagh) P.S. Case No. 245 of 2002, stands rejected. However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner. SHAHZAD ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
