IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44197 of 2008 CHHOTU MANDAL SON OF SRI RAM MANDAL, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE RAMDIRI DURGA ASTHAN, NAUWAGARHI, P.S. NAYA RAMNAGAR, DISTRICT MUNGER------------------PETITIONER. Versus STATE OF BIHAR----------------------OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- 02. 25.11.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is in jail custody with effect from 25.7.2007 in regard to a case registered for the offence under Sections 379 and 406 of the Penal Code. He is named in the First Information Report along with his brother. It is also accepted by the counsel for the petitioner that besides the present case he is accused in a case under Section 392 of the Penal Code registered subsequently to the present case. Be that as it may, as the petitioner’s antecedent is not absolutely clean, at this stage, I am not inclined to release him on bail and this application is, accordingly, rejected with liberty to renew prayer for bail after completing nine months in jail custody.
