IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35556 of 2010 DEO NANDAN PRASAD GUPTA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 29.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the state. Admittedly, the petitioner is Munshi of concerned firm and learned counsel for the state fairly concedes this fact that section 7 of Essential Commodities Act will not apply against the petitioner and only section 353 of the I.P.C. is applicable against the petitioner. Considering the above said facts and circumstances of the case as well as submission of the parties, I direct the petitioner, Deo Nandan Prasad Gupta to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Suryagarha P.S. Case No. 171 of 2010 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lakhisarai. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
