.... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar.

.... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Nitya Nand Neeraj For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Ramchandra Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 19-07-2017 Heard the parties.

This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Ghosi (Okri-O.P.) P.S.Case No.64 of 2017 for the offences punishable under Sections 392 and 411 of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner is that he was arrested on the spot and one mangalsutra and notes of Rs.500/- were also recovered from his possession.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that he has been falsely made accused in this case. The petitioner is in custody for about four months and except one case, he is not accused in any other case. It is also submitted that another coaccused, whose case is similar to the petitioner, has already been

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.30455 of 2017 (2) dt.19-07-2017 2/2 granted bail by this Court, vide order dated 6.7.2017 passed in Cr. Misc. No.30745 of 2017.

Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides and from perusal of order the order dated 6.7.2017 passed in Cr. Misc. No.30745 of 2017, by which the bail has been granted to another co-accused, it appears that he has no criminal antecedent and submission was that no looted article has been recovered from the possession of that coaccused. In such view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, however, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of four months and if not concluded, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail bond before the court concerned. With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
