IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31060 of 2008 ARJUN MANDAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 26.9.2008 Heard. The case is under sections 341, 323, 452, 379/34 of the Indian Penal Code and there is general allegation against all the accused persons of decamping with Rs.13,875/-, the sale proceeds of potato and a gold ring of 8 Anna weight. Besides, this Court admitted some of the accused persons named in the F.I.R. to anticipatory bail in Cr. Misc. case no.21729 of 2008. Inspite of the above circumstances, the learned Sessions Judge appears rejecting the prayer in such a case. If this could be the judicial behaviour of a Judge, who holds the office of the Sessions Judge, the docket of the Court shall never be lessened on the miscellaneous petition. The worst was when the Judge was rejecting the prayer ‘considering the nature of the offence and the allegation levelled against the petitioner’. Another set of accused persons have been allowed anticipatory bail by this Court in Miscellaneous petition no.21729 of 2008 who had allegation similar to the petitioner. It may be pointed out that there is no definite allegation against any particular accused and specially against the petitioner even from the facts narrated by the learned Judge in para-2 of his order. Such poor could be the judicial competence of the Sessions Judge, Katihar. Let this order be communicated to the Sessions Judge, Katihar - 2 - personally. Let petitioner named above be released on bail on furnishing bond of Rs.1,000/- (One thousand) with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the C.J.M., Katihar, in connection with Kurshela P.S. case no.13 of 2008. sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha,J )
