The petitioner is languishing in custody since 11.3.2016 in connection with Sahebganj P.S. Case No. 41 of 2016 for the offences instituted under Sections 385 and 387 of the Indian Penal Code.

The Prosecution story, in brief, is that the Informant has filed a written report alleging therein that he received a call on his mobile Number from unknown, demanding a sum of Rs.5,00,000/- as ransom failing which he would be killed. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. He is in custody since 11.3.2016 and the charge sheet has been submitted in the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.20705 of 2016 (3) dt.20-07-2016 2/2 present case. There is no allegation of tampering with the evidence against the petitioner. There is no substantive material to suggest the implication of the petitioner in the present case. The First Information Report has been instituted after two days of the alleged occurrence.

On behalf of the State it has been submitted that a ransom of Rs.5,00,000/- was demanded from the informant. From perusal of paragraph-24 of the case diary, it appears that the petitioner had made a call for the said ransom. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected in connection with Sahebgunj P.S. Case No. 41 of 2016 pending before the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, (West), at Muzaffarpur.
