JUSTICE ARUN KUMAR ORAL ORDER 19-07-2018 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner, already in custody since 17.3.2018, seeks bail in Dumaria Ghat PS Case No. 47 of 2018 registered under Sections 387, 384 and 386/34 of the IPC.

The allegation in brief is that the petitioner went to the house of the informant asking him to talk with one Pushkar Singh, a criminal lodged inside the jail, demand of ten lakh rupees as extortion was made; the petitioner was apprehended by the informant and produced before the petitioner.

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not made any demand of extortion rather had gone there only for getting the informant to have a talk with Pushkar Singh and this petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

Whereas learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposed the prayer for bail and submits that he is also involved in the offence and came to the house of the informant for demand of extortion.

Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances as also the nature of offence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is presently rejected.
