JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 20-05-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Bhagwan Bazar P.S. Case No.124 of 2014 registered under Section 363 of the Indian Penal Code.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that apart from the self confessional statement of the petitioner, there is nothing on the basis of which he could have been remanded to judicial custody.
Learned counsel for the State has opposed the application for grant of bail to the petitioner. He has submitted that the petitioner being the brother-in-law of the informant had kidnapped his own nephew for ransom. In course of investigation,
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.21752 of 2016 (2) dt.20-05-2016 2/2 it has also transpired that ransom calls were being made by the elder brother of the petitioner, who has also been made accused in this case. The further material which has transpired during investigation is that the wife of the petitioner used to send letters demanding money for release of the kidnapped boy. Till date, the victim has not been recovered.
I have heard the parties and perused the materials on record.
Regard being had to the serious nature of allegation and other incriminating materials against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected.
The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible.
