The petitioner seeks bail in Bettiah Muffasil (Banuchhapar) P.S. Case No. 06/2019, instituted for offences under Section(s) 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged in the written report that petitioner took Rs. 5 lacs from the informant for supplying stones to him within one month, but he failed to do so. On 04.07.2018, petitioner gave cheque of Rs. 5 lacs to the informant, which was deposited in the Bank, but the same got bounced.
Learned counsel for the petitioner was directed to take instruction whether petitioner is ready to make payment of aforesaid amount or not.
Learned counsel for petitioner has submitted that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.31730 of 2019(3) dt.15-07-2019 2/2 petitioner is not in position to make payment of the aforesaid amount.
Considering the fact that there is direct allegation of misappropriation of Rs. 5 lacs of the informant against this petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail of petitioner is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and make efforts to conclude the same as early as possible by fixing the case on day to day basis within six months from the date of receipt/production of copy of order.
Petitioner will be at liberty to renew prayer for bail in the event trial is not concluded within aforesaid period. (Sanjay Priya, J) rakhi/- U T
