IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26056 of 2008 SANTOSH MISHRA @ LAKSHMAN MISHRA @ LAXMAN MISHRA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 23.07.2008 Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner Santosh Mishra @ Lakshman Mishra @ Laxman Mishra was rejected on 04.12.2007 vide order no. 2 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 47939 of 2007. The case in which the petitioner stood implicated was registered under Section 366A of the IPC which was related to kidnapping of 14 years old girl who is younger sister of the informant. She was kept in captivity for several days. Subsequently, charge sheet seems to have been submitted under Sections 366A and 376 of the IPC, as it would be revealed from the impugned order dated 19.06.2008. In this way, it could be stated that the quantum of allegation is greater. Considering the facts and circumstances, I am not persuaded to grant him bail. The prayer for bail stands rejected, although, he has remained in custody since 14.12.2006. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial. Sanjeet (Subash Chandra Jha, J.)
