IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17808 of 2009 RISHI PANDEY Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 28.05.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The sole petitioner has approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under section 394/411 IPC. As per the allegation in the FIR, the informant was looted at gun point by three unknown persons. The police investigated the case and four accused persons were charge-sheeted. It appears that several months thereafter the petitioner was arrested in some other case and he is said to have made a confessional statement showing his complicity in the present case as well. On that basis, he has been roped in the present case and the investigation is in progress. Counsel for the petitioner submits that apart from the confessional statement, there is no incriminating material against him and in fact no recovery pursuant to his aforesaid confessional statement has been made. It is further contended that the accused persons who were initially charge-sheeted by the police have since been granted the privilege of bail. In this connection, he drew attention of the Court to the averment made in paragraph 9 of the application. It is also contended that the petitioner is in custody since 19.3.2009. Regard being had to the submissions and materials on record, let the petitioner abovenamed be released on bail on - 2 - furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of SDJM, West Muzaffarpur in connection with Kurhani P.S.Case No. 463 of 2006, on condition that one of the bailors shall be his close/own family member. hr ( Kishore K.
