====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 09-05-2017 The petitioner is in custody since 07.12.2016 in connection with Khaira P. S. Case no. 103 of 2014, registered for offences punishable under Section 364(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that initially the F.I.R. in the present case was lodged against the unknown persons and only during the course of investigation, his name has transpired in this case on the basis of confessional statement of one co-accused, namely, Manoj Rai, who has already been granted bail by this Court vide order, dated 15.07.2016, passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 27866 of 2016. The petitioner has been languishing in judicial custody since 07.12.2016.

Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer of bail and submitted that petitioner has criminal antecedent as he is accused in three cases and therefore, does not deserve the privilege of bail.

Having heard both sides, from perusal of the records,

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.20773 of 2017 (2) dt.09-05-2017 2/2 it appears that the petitioner has large number of cases pending against him, however as stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that he is on bail in all the cases and considering the fact that petitioner's name has come in this case only on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused, who has already been granted bail by this Court, let petitioner above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.40,000/-( Rupees Forty thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jamui, in connection with Khaira P.S. Case No.
