No.38722 of 2008 TUKIYA MAHTO @ TUKO MAHTO … … Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR … … Opp. Party For the petitioner: Shri Ashok Kumar Jha For the State: Shri Dinesh Singh, APP ----------- 4. 9.1.2009 Heard. The case relates to demand of Rangdari in lieu of allowing the construction of a road to continue. The allegation is that the present petitioner along with some others came at the site of the construction, fired indiscriminately and asked the informant to meet the gangster Ranjeet Mahto who was confined in Begusarai jail. The present petitioner is said to have demanded either ten per cent of the total cost of construction or Rs. 50,000/-. This may not be out of place to mention that the petitioner bears a big criminal history of being accused in as many as 11 cases of different nature as reported by the Superintendent of Police, Begusarai, which report is at Flag ‘A’. Regard being had to the long 2 criminal history, the petitioner bears, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on bail. The petition is dismissed. Kanth ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
