IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13081 of 2010 RAKESH SINGH, SON OF SRI BANKE SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 13.07.2010 Supplementary Affidavit filed today be kept on the record. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 420 and 407 of the Indian Penal Code. Subsequently, Sections 394 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code was added. The prosecution case is that the driver and one Manoj Kumar Singh came to the Informant and asked for his vehicle for some personal function. After much persuasion, the vehicle of the Informant was given to the driver who then disappeared with the vehicle. Subsequently, it transpired that in fact, one Manoj Kumar used to live with the deceased driver and much later, it was found out that in fact, it was the petitioner who is really Rakesh Singh, Son of Banke Singh was living with him in the fictitious name of Manoj Kumar Singh. When the petitioner was apprehended, he disclosed his complicity in the matter and also the complicity of one Manoj Singh who was also remanded in the present case. The print out of the Mobile of the petitioner and the deceased were taken out from which it could be gathered that there was a regular conversation 2 between the two suggesting that they were well known to each other. The dead body was also recovered in a village in the vicinity where the petitioner lived for which a substantive case was instituted and the same was amalgamated with the present case. The recovery of the dead body near the village of the petitioner also suggests that the petitioner could be involved in the occurrence. Considering the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the serious nature of the offence. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
