JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 19-05-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State through virtual Court proceedings. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 385 & 387 of the Indian Penal Code.

The petitioner is said to have demanded rangdari from his mobile bearing no.7079259401 from the informant. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place. He is quite innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case due to ulterior motive.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.2473 of 2021(4) dt.19-05-2021 2/2 made out against him as there is no transaction of money in this case and only a demand has been made. The only material against the petitioner is his involvement in several criminal cases. Thirteen criminal cases are already pending against the petitioner as mentioned in paragraph-3 of this bail application. The petitioner has been remanded in this case on 30.04.2019 and since then he is languishing in custody.

Learned APP for the State opposed the bail petition.

In the facts and circumstances of the case as also considering the criminal antecedents of the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for bail is hereby rejected.

However, the learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and both the parties are expected to extend their full co-operation in early conclusion of the trial. (Anjani Kumar Sharan, J) Trivedi/- U T
