IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13838 of 2009 SURENDRA YADAV, SON OF LATE BULAK YADAV, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-TULAPATTI, P.S. KISHANPUR, DISTRICT-SUPAUL. ……………………………………………………………….PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR…………………………..OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Naresh Kumar Mehta, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhyay, A.P.P. ---------- 2. 21.5.2009. The petitioner, Surendra Yadav, is in custody in connection with Tribeniganj P.S. Case No.140(9) of 1982 registered under Sections 396 and 412 I.P.C. giving rise to Sessions Trial No.134 of 1984. The petitioner had been released on bail vide order dated 29.3.1990 but due to misuse of privilege granted to him his bail bond was cancelled vide order dated 20.9.1992. He, however, surrendered in court on 16.5.2008 after a lapse of almost 16 years. The absence of the petitioner for almost 16 years has delayed in trial of the case which is of the year 1982. Due regard being had to the facts and the circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. His prayer for bail is rejected. P.S. (Abhijit Sinha,J)
