IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32499 of 2008 MUKESH KUMAR @ DANISH …. PETITIONER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …. OPP. PARTY For the petitioner : - Sri Pranav Kumar, Advocate For the O.P. : - Sri D. Mehta, APP ----------- 3. 11.11.2008 Heard Sri Pranav Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri D. Mehta, APP for the State. A tractor went missing. A report of theft was lodged against unknown. Subsequently two persons including this petitioner were found driving away the tractor. Of course, on the day of the incident it is the ground for seeking bail that the tractor was recovered on the very next day. The other ground is that the other accused has been admitted to bail after four months of confinement. I am not concerned about the period of confinement or the recovery of the equipment on the very next day of the incident. I am only concerned about the trend of the offence and the ramification thereof and considering that, I do not find any merit or at least any reason to direct the release of the petitioner at the present stage. The petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail, if the trial is not concluded with one year and six months from the date of his remand in the case.
