Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THRU.VIGILANCE …………………………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- 2/ 21.07.2009 Since both the above bail applications have arisen out of one occurrence for which the FIR has been registered under Sections 7/13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of Prevention of Corruption Act, they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. The vigilance received information that these two petitioners and another accused who was executive engineer were demanding bribe. The complainant was not willing to pay but under compulsion he had to agree. After the lodging of the complaint a trap party was organized. Pre- trap memorandum was prepared and all three persons namely these two petitioners and co- 2 accused Birendra Kr. Sharma, the executive engineer were apprehended with the bribe money. Submission is that though on technical ground co-accused Birendra Kr. Sharma, the executive engineer has already been enlarged on bail. Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of vigilance has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioners. The co-accused was granted bail so it will not be appropriate to keep these petitioners in custody. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the above named petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Spl.
