Thereafter, one Shiv Shanker Sharma had called and demanded money.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not an F.I.R. named accused person and he has

It is further submitted that the three cases said to be pending against the petitioner are such cases where the petitioner has been remanded after being arrested in the present case. It is further submitted that the petitioner is languishing in jail since 06.05.2017.

Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of 5th Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Motihari at East Champaran in connection with Pakaridayal PS case no. 15 of 2017.
