IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43699 of 2010 PRATAP JEE @ SAHDEO DAS -------------------Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR -----------Opposite party 2. 19.02.2011 The petitioner Pratap Jee @ Sahdeo Das is in custody since 23.3.2010 in Amas P.S. Case No. 15 of 2010 giving rise to Trial No. 883 of 2010 under Section 387 of Indian Penal Code pending in the Court of Shri A. K. Gupta, Judicial Magistrate, Sherghati, Gaya. According to the prosecution case from the informant Rs. 50,000/- ransom was being demanded through mobile by unknown person. During investigation the mobile number was recovered from the possession of the petitioner. From perusal of the order rejecting the petitioner’s prayer for bail, it appears that the prayer has been rejected on the ground that there are other criminal cases pending against this petitioner. However, this petitioner is in custody in this case since 23.3.2010. Considering the nature of allegation and period of detention, I direct the petitioner namely, Pratap Jee @ Sahdeo Das be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) 2 with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sri A. K. Gupta, Judicial Magistrate Sherghati, Gaya in connection with Amas P.S. Case No. 15 of 2010 giving rise to Trail No. 883 of 2010 on condition that the petitioner should be physically present on each and every date during the trial. Anand Kr. (Mungeshwar Sahoo, J.)
