Let the defect(s), if any, be removed within a period of four weeks.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 406, 420 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

The present bail application has been filed in terms of the liberty granted to the petitioner by order dated 07.09.2022 in Cr. Misc. No. 47686 of 2022 to renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge.

Learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner submits that charges against the petitioner have been framed on 20.09.2022.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61012 of 2022(2) dt.16-11-2022 2/2 Since the charges against the petitioner have been framed, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twentyfive Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Court below where the case is pending in connection with Kotwali P.S. Case No. 143 of 2021. The Court takes into consideration the order dated 18.01.2022 in Cr. Misc. No. 68319 of 2021 by which the bail application of the petitioner was rejected for the first time. Since the conduct of the petitioner before this Court was not clean, as such, his bail application was rejected. Since the petitioner now stands released on bail, in the event after his release the trial court comes to a conclusion that the petitioner is trying to delay the trial in any manner, the learned trial court shall forthwith cancel the bail bond of the petitioner after recording reasons and will take all coercive steps to ensure that the petitioner is behind bar.
