IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3025 of 2009 SOHAN JHA, S/o late Madan Jha Versus The STATE OF BIHAR ------ 2/ 19.03.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Three miscreants looted a motorcycle along with mobile and other articles and the motorcycle has been recovered from petitioner’s premises. On this point, I fail to understand the submission advanced by the learned counsel that it was not in petitioner’s conscious possession due to being the premises joint family. Three persons have been shown as snatchers. One of the co- accused, Sunil Kumar was caught and confessed naming Roshan and Abhinash and the recovery from this petitioner shows that a gang was working in snatching motorcycle and each and every member, including this petitioner deserves no liberty. So, he is not entitled for bail even considering his custody since 14.08.2000. However, Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and if the same is not concluded within a period of three months, petitioner will have an option to renew his prayer for bail. Accordingly, the application is rejected. shail (Mandhata Singh,J.)
