IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38442 of 2009 SAHEB MIAN @ YUSUF AZAD Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 18.11.2009 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is an accused in Arrah/Nawada P.S. Case No. 241 of 2009 for offences punishable under Sections 366(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Substance of allegation is of aiding in elopement of the daughter of the informant with the accused Manish Kumar. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the name of the petitioner has been roped in the present case merely on the statement of one Om Prakash posted in the Railway Protection Force who informed that informant’s daughter has eloped with the accused persons including the present petitioner. Learned counsel further submits that merely because he happens to be a tempo driver that he has been involved in the present case and that he has no connection with the alleged occurrence. Learned counsel also submits that the entire allegation appears to be false inasmuch as the said Om Prakash was known to the informant and his 2 daughter and being posted in the Protection Force did not take any step to prevent the alleged elopement and which makes the prosecution version itself doubtful. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner further submits that merely on suspicion he has been taken into custody. Having regard to the facts and circumstances set forth, let petitioner Saheb Mian @ Yusuf Azad be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhojpur at Arrah in connection with Arrah/Nawada P.S.
