JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 18-02-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is not named in the first information report but from perusal of the impugned order, I find that name of petitioner came in confessional statement of co-accused, Shakti Singh, who stated in his statement that he along with this petitioner hatched up a conspiracy to eliminate the deceased and in furtherance of the aforesaid conspiracy, the alleged occurrence took place.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that coaccused, Shakti Singh has already been granted privilege of bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this court and except the aforesaid confessional statement, there appears to be nothing against the
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.7266 of 2016 (2) dt.18-02-2016 2/2 petitioner. It is further submitted by him that admittedly, at the time of alleged occurrence, petitioner was in jail and there is nothing on the entire record to show that petitioner had made any contact with the killers of the deceased.
No doubt, petitioner carries criminal antecedent of some cases but considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gopalganj in connection with Gopalganj P.S.
