IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16189 of 2009 MANZOOR ALAM Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 13.07.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under sections 457 and 380/34 IPC. It is alleged that the petitioner was caught red-handed while attempting to commit theft in the house of the informant. Learned counsel for the petitioner tenaciously argues that there is delay of about two days in producing the petitioner before the court. It is contended that he is in custody since 03.02.2009 It appears that the petitioner carries criminal antecedent. In the facts and circumstances of the case and also having regard to the fact that the petitioner carries criminal antecedent, this Court, for the present, is not inclined to admit him to bail. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. However, the petitioner is given liberty to renew his prayer for bail after four months. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
