IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36401 of 2009 RAMASHISH SHARMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 06.01.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner. No one appears on behalf of the State. By filing the present application, the petitioner has renewed his prayer for grant of bail. Having regard to the criminal antecedents of the petitioner and the incriminating materials available on record, this Court had on earlier occasion rejected the prayer for bail of the petitioner. He was, however, granted liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months, if the trial is not taken up in the meanwhile. Under order dated 04.11.2009, status report was called for which is placed on record as Flag A. It appears from the said report that in spite of steps having been taken by the court, the prosecution witnesses have not turned up and, as such, the trial is held up. The petitioner seems to be in custody since 30.04.2008. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is now persuaded to admit the petitioner to bail. Let the petitioner above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10, 000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of J.M. 1st Class, Kaimur in Tr.No.2135 of 2009(Ramgarh p.s.case no.154 of 2007), subject - 2 - to the conditions that one of the bailors shall be his own/close family member and that he shall appear on each date fixed in trial. In case of default in appearance on two consecutive dates, the bail bonds of the petitioner shall be cancelled by the trial court. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
