SUDARSHAN YADAV, S/O LATE MURAT YADAV, R/O VILLAGE- SHERA BAZAR, P.S.-BATHWARIYA, DISTRICT-WEST CHAMPARAN. 3. SUDAMA YADAV, S/O JAGARNATH YADAV, R/O VILLAGE- BATHWARIYA, P.S.-BATHWARIYA, DISTRICT-WEST CHAMPARAN. ………………PETITIONERS. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ………………OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- 2 07.09.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Case is under Sections 25(1-b), A/30/37 of the Arms Act. From the FIR, it appears that petitioners had surrendered with their arms before the Collector of the District, S.P. and other dignitaries of the State responding to the criminal rehabilitation scheme of the State Government. The arms were seized and petitioners were sent to prison. From the order-sheet of the learned court below, it appears that the petitioners have some criminal history. Obviously, since the petitioners were criminals they will have criminal history, but the fact is that in response to the criminal rehabilitation scheme petitioners had voluntarily surrendered before the authorities with their arms which shows that they had intention to leave their criminal life and settle 2 for a peaceful life as a law abiding citizen. In the circumstances, this Court is of the view that the petitioners should not be retained in jail and they should be allowed to adjust in the society pending cases against them which will be dealt with in accordance with law by the competent court of law. Considering the above facts, this application is allowed. The above named petitioners are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bagaha, West Champaran in connection with Bathwariya P.S. Case No. 80/08 (Tr. No. 2631/09) with the condition that petitioners shall report to the concerned police station every week and shall appear in the cases pending against them in court on each and every date and co-operate with the trial. In case of default of any of the conditions, the court below will be at liberty to cancel their bail bonds and take steps for their arrest. Arvind/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
