IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29966 of 2009 MD.SOHAIL AHMAD @ MD.SOHAIL, son of Md. Amin, resident of village Nakchhed Bahuarwa, P.S. Purushottampur, District West Champaran Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 4.9.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. This Court would find that earlier the petitioner has been granted time for informing this Court as to whether he was prepared to deposit half of the due amount as alleged in the F.I.R. Today counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is prepared to do so, but according to him the amount will be Rs. 10,000/- because the misappropriated amount is Rs. 20,000/-. In the opinion of this Court such offer of the learned counsel for the petitioner seems to be wholly incorrect. There is clear allegation of misappropriation of Rs. 50,000/- and odd and therefore, if the petitioner wants to be released on bail he has to pay half of that amount i.e. Rs. 25,315/- being half of Rs. 50,630/-. In the event the petitioner would 2 deposit the aforementioned amount in cash the court below will grant bail to the petitioner Md. Sohail Ahmad @ Md. Sohail on his furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sri P.C.Verma, Judicial Magistrate, Bettiah, West Champaran, in Trial No. 431/2009 arising out of Majhaulia P.S.Case No. 19/1997. The said amount shall be passed on to the informant who will be again under obligation to return the same if the prosecution fails. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
