For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Jitendra Narain Sinha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Rajballabh Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 27-07-2017 The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Khanpur P.S. Case No. 63 of 2015, registered for offences punishable under Sections 399, 402 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.
It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that he has not been named in the F.I.R., his name transpired in this case only on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused. Further nothing has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and he has been in custody for last five months and though he is accused in two other cases, but those cases are of the year 2011.
Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that impugned order itself shows that this petitioner
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.34505 of 2017 (2) dt.27-07-2017 2/2 has made the motorcycle and arms available to other co-accused person at the instance of one Ravindra Sahni, who was in custody in Muzaffarpur Jail.
Having heard both sides, in view of the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, his application for regular bail is, accordingly, rejected.
However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of six months and if the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail in the court below itself. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sunil/- U T
