IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8501 of 2009 RAM UCHIT MAHTO @ NANHKI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Sudhir Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhaya, A.P.P. ------ 2 30.4.2009 Petitioner RAM UCHIT MAHTO @ NANHKI is one of the FIR named accused of Samastipur (Town) P.S. Case no. 677 of 2008 registered under sections 414/34 IPC. The allegation against the petitioner is that certain household articles were recovered from the house of the petitioner which are said to have been stolen in course of theft in the house of the informant, Kedar Nath Singh, and the police in that connection had received secret information that the stolen articles were being distributed from the house of Bhagwati Charan Sah. The items recovered do not appear to have been put on T.I. parade or identified by the informant as those belonging to him. One of the grounds for rejection of the prayer for bail appears to have been the recovery of three mobile sets from the house of the petitioner. Such recovery by itself cannot carry a presumptive opinion that the petitioner was involved in or had retained stolen property. It also appears that other co-accused including Bhagwti Charan Sah have already been enlarged on bail by the Sessions Court and I see no apparent reason why the prayer for petitioner was rejected by the Sessions Court. In the facts and circumstances of the case the petitioner RAM - 2 - UCHIT MAHTO @ NANHKI is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Samastipur in connection with Samastipur (Town) P.S. Case no. 677 of 2008 . Spd/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
