IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31510 of 2009 RAMA NAND MAHTO @ RAMANAND DHANGAR Son of Kari Mahto, resident of Village- Prem Nagar, Police Station Sahadra, District West Champaran. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 7/10/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was allowed by this Court by order dated 28.5.2008 in Cr. Misc. No.19602 of 2008 along with other accused persons. The petitioner was directed to surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks. It is however submitted, that the petitioner on account of his illness would not surrender before the court below within the stipulated period. The petitioner has annexed medical certificates dated 11.12.2008 and 20.5.2009 which also do not really inspire confidence and at least is not demonstrative of the fact of any serious illness so as to preclude him from surrendering and getting his bail before the court below. Nonetheless, as the petitioner was directed to be released on bail, on his surrendering and now he is prepared to do so, this Court by way of last indulgence would give him three weeks further time from today to do so and therefore if the petitioner surrenders within the aforementioned period, he would be released on bail in terms of order dated 28.5.2008 in Cr. Misc. No.19602 of 2008 on verification of the fact as to whether the petitioner in the intervening period from 28.5.2008 and till date 2 has been made accused in any other criminal case. In the event it is found that the petitioner has been made accused in any other criminal case in the aforementioned period, his anticipatory bail granted by this Court shall stand cancelled. For the purpose of making this verification the court below initially may grant provisional bail to the petitioner but his such provisional bail would be confirmed w only after verifying the fact of the criminal antecedent of the petitioner. Let a copy of this order be sent to the court below by FAX if cost for the same is deposited by counsel for the petitioner. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
