Versus
1. The State of Bihar.
.... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :
For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ritendra Bhushan Awasthee For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Ramchandra Sahani ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 19-11-2018 Heard the parties.
This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Rajiv Nagar P.S.Case No.141 of 2018 dated 15.5.2018 for the offences under Sections 364(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Allegation against the petitioner is of kidnapping the minor son of the informant and also demanding ransom from a mobile phone. It further appears from the impugned order that the petitioner along with the other accused persons was arrested from the place of recovery of the victim boy.
Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that nothing incriminating material has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and he has been arrested only on the
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.57878 of 2018 (3) dt.19-11-2018 2/2 basis of suspicion and he is in custody for about six months. Heard learned A.P.P., who has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that in para 13 of the case diary it is clearly mentioned that petitioner along with the other accused persons has been arrested and the boy was recovered from that place, as such he does not deserve bail.
Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, however, as the petitioner is in custody, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial. With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
