IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr Misc No 16096 of 2009 Jogi Choudhary @ Jogi son of Sri Ram Chaudhary, resident of village – Betha, Police Station – Morkahi, District – Khagaria - Petitioner Versus State of Bihar - Opposite Party W I T H Cr Misc No 51485 of 2008 Bilo Choudhary son of Manik Choudhary, resident of village – Bochghatta, Police Station – Morkahi, District – Khagaria - Petitioner Versus State of Bihar - Opposite Party ----------- 2 18.05.2009 In both these cases, petitioners are in custody in relation to Morkahi Police Station Case No 50 of 2008 (G R No 1075 of 2008) registered under Sections 364/34 of Indian Penal Code. In fact, this police case has been registered after almost 10 years. Originally, a complaint was filed for the occurrence of 20.07.1997 being Complaint Case No 278C of 1997. It appears that this complaint case was referred to police for investigation and it was after great persuasion of many years that the police has ultimately registered the case. Petitioner Jogi Choudhary was in fact arrested in another case and thereafter he has been remanded in the present case. Petitioner Bilo Choudhary has been arrested only recently in the present case. The allegations are serious that the petitioners alongwith others took away the two sons of the informant who, even after 11 years, are traceless. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Prayer of petitioners for bail is rejected. Let the trial of the petitioners be expedited. 2 If, after commitment, the trial is not concluded within one year, the petitioners may renew their prayer for bail before the trial Court itself who would dispose of the same without being prejudiced by this order.
