JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 29-01-2022 Heard Mr. Ghanshyam Tiwary, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Uday Pratap Singh, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State through video conferencing. Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Arwal P.S. Case No. 88/2021 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 468, 467, 471 and 120(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code 1860.
As per the First Information Report, the Police during course of investigation, apprehended Chandni Kumari and recovered three Aadhar Cards having different numbers and name of the husband of Chandni Kumari and upon enquiry, she told the Police that the Aadhar Cards were prepared by the petitioner.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.41147 of 2021(2) dt.29-01-2022 2/3 petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case on the basis of statement made by Chandni Kumari from whose possession, three Aadhar Cards were recovered and he has not committed any offence in the manner alleged. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is not residing with Chandni Kumari at Agam Kuan (Patna) as stated by her, but he is resident of village Parev, P.S. Bihta (Patna). Learned counsel further submits that the charge sheet has already been submitted and the trial is not likely to be concluded in near future due to Covid-19 pandemic. The petitioner is in custody since 6.3.2021 having no criminal antecedent.
Regards being had to the submission made by the parties and taking into consideration the materials on record, the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 6.3.2021 having no criminal antecedent, charge sheet has already been submitted and the trial is not likely to be concluded in near future due to Covid-19 pandemic, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.
Accordingly, let the petitioner, above named, be released on regular bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.41147 of 2021(2) dt.29-01-2022 3/3 Arwal, in connection with Arwal P.S. Case No. 88/2021. It is made clear that at the time of furnishing bail bonds all the parties shall follow the guidelines regarding social distancing.
