IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8567 of 2009 ALOK KUMAR, son late Rajdeo Kesari, Resident of Mohalla Anderkila, Police Station Hajipur Town, District Vaishali Versus STATE OF BIHAR with Cr.Misc. No.8985 of 2009 UDAY KUMAR son of Shiv Shankar Singh, Resident of Mohalla Underkila, P.S. Hajipur Town, District Vaishali (Hajipur) Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 07.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Sections 379, 353, 504 and other allied Sections of the Indian Penal Code. They are named in the First Information Report along with 20 others who blocked the road after electrocution of co-villager, Dilip Kumar. From perusal of the First Information Report, it appears that the mob indulged in vandalism and snatching from the passersby. Later, the mob disbursed after arrival of the police party whereafter First Information Report was lodged naming the petitioners and others. As the petitioners are the members of the mob which indulged in vandalism as also snatching, I am not inclined to admit them to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest. These applications are, accordingly, rejected with direction to the petitioners to surrender in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, 2 Vaishali at Hajipur in connection with Hajipur Town P.S. Case No. 399 of 2008 within four weeks from today and apply for regular bail, which should be considered in accordance with law. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
