10-11-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor.
The petitioner, who is in custody in Sitamarhi P.S. Case No. 277 of 2015 registered for the offence under Section 387 of the Indian Penal Code, has prayed for grant of bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that almost in similar situation, earlier one another F.I.R. was lodged, in which, he was taken into custody, however; subsequently he was enlarged on bail. As such, in the present case, he deserves privilege of bail. He further submits that name of the petitioner in the present case has surfaced on the confession of one of the coaccused, against whom investigation is still continuing, however; chargesheet has already been submitted against the petitioner. Learned Addl. Public Prosecutor has opposed the
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.51363 of 2015 (2) dt.10-11-2015 2/2 prayer of bail. He submits that earlier case was instituted in respect of kidnapping of brother of the informant, whereas, in the present case, allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner over mobile phone was demanding rangdari. He further submits that the petitioner is accused in number of cases. Besides hearing, I have also perused the materials available on record. On perusal of paragraph -3 of the petition itself, it is evident that the petitioner is accused in eight cases relating to serious offences. At least, three cases are relating to dacoity.
In view of nature of accusation and antecedents of the petitioner, I do not find any ground to extend the privilege of bail. The petition stands dismissed.
