====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DR. ANSHUMAN ORAL ORDER 10-05-2023 Let the defect(s), if any, be removed within two weeks from today.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.
The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Sheohar P.S. Case No. 191 of 2019 dated 16.08.2019 lodged under Section 307/34 of the I.P.C. and Section 27 of the Arms Act.
As per the allegation made in the F.I.R., four accused persons were made accused in this case in which the allegation of demanding rangdari (ransom) is there upon the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is the victim of the offence, he is innocent and has committed no offence. Counsel for the petitioner further submits
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16578 of 2023(2) dt.10-05-2023 2/2 that the petitioner has not been arrested rather he has been remanded in this case on 31.08.2020, since then he is languishing in custody. Counsel further submits to this Court that there are 22 criminal antecedent of the petitioner but he is on bail in all the cases except four criminal cases, whose names are mentioned in the paragraph- 3 of the present application. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits the list of antecedent of the petitioner is high degree that aspect may be considered.
In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at present but liberty is hereby granted to the petitioner that he may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge in this case.
With this observation, the bail application stands rejected.
