IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9333 of 2009 RAJEEV KUMAR @ RAJU @ RAJEEV KUMAR SINHA, son of Shri Birendra Prasad Sinha, resident of village Khatkachak Maranpur, P.S. Civil Line Gaya, Distt. Gaya Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04/ 07.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the State and the Informant. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Section 381 of the Indian Penal Code against one Satish Chandra Prasad and petitioner alleging that they had stolen 3 M.T. of iron rod from the site of the Company of which informant is the Commercial Coordinator. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there was delay in lodging the First Information Report which appears to be quite natural as theft having taken place at the site which is in a village may be on the highway. Time taken in lodging the First Information Report appears to have been explained. Accordingly, I direct the petitioner above named to surrender in the court of C.J.M., Nalanda in connection with Noorsarai P.S. Case No. 282 of 2008, G.R. No. 2827 of 2008 within four weeks from today and apply for regular bail which should be considered in the light of his criminal antecedent and if his antecedent is clean, 2 appropriate orders in accordance with law be passed. Let this order be communicated to the court below through fax on payment of usual charges by the petitioner. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
