His defence appears indicated in the case diary that people finding the petitioner tied at a particular place, came there and untied him and thereafter, he rushed to Koderma and informed the informant. - 2 - Under the above facts and circumstances, let petitioner Mantu Yadav be released from custody on furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai in connection with Muffasil P.S.
