IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28228 of 2008 SANTOSH JAISWAL @ JITENDRA KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 24.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. Petitioner is in custody in relation to Muzaffarpur Rail P S Case No. 26 of 2007 under sections 328, 307, 379, 411/34 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 8 & 22 of the N D P S Act. The allegation is that a group of persons including this petitioner had drugged the informant and robbed his belongings while travelling by train. Petitioner’s submission is that his name has figured on the basis of confession of a co-accused who has been enlarged on bail. In the normal course the Court could have considered the above material to extend the benefit of bail to the petitioner but keeping the fact in mind that the petitioner has been remanded in yet another case of similar kind the petitioner seems to be involved in these kinds of crimes and this is his source of livelihood. In this background the court is not inclined to extend the benefit of bail to him. In a situation and allegation of this kind, it will be in the interest of justice that the trial of the case be expedited by the court below. The bail application is dismissed. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J) - 2 -
