Patna High Court – Orders
Balwant Kumar Singh vs State Of Bihar on 26 March, 2011
              IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                         Cr. Misc. No.36767 of 2010
                BALWANT KUMAR SINGH son of Jamuna Singh
                                   Versus
                             STATE OF BIHAR
                                  -----------

4/ 26.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State.

The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in a case instituted

for the offence under section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and

section 27 of the Arms Act.

It has been submitted that the petitioner is neither

named in the dying declaration of the deceased nor in the fard

beyanh given by his brother. Subsequently, in paragraph 7, the

father of the deceased was examined, who stated that when he

asked, his son disclosed the name of the petitioner as one of the

person who fired shot, but this fact is unbelievable since the

deceased himself did not support this fact. Further submission is that

the eye witnesses examined in paragraph 7 and 8 have merely stated

about presence of the petitioner at the place of occurrence and that

he ran away screaming that mobile had burst. Further submission is

that on this material, the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail by

the court till the submission of the charge sheet and there is no

further material after the said order was passed which would warrant

putting the petitioner in jail on the same very ground.

Learned counsel for the informant has brought to the

notice of the court paragraph 17 and 39 which are the supervision

notes by which the supervision officer had concluded that the

petitioner was involved in the present occurrence.

In view of such, in the event of surrender of the
2

petitioner, Balwant Kumar Singh, within three weeks from today in

connection with Madanpur P.S. Case No.186 of 2009, he shall be

released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.5,000/-

(five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Aurangabad, subject to

conditions as laid down under section 438 (2) Cr. P.C., and (i) That

one of the bailors will be a close relative of the petitioner, who will

give an affidavit giving genealogy as to how he is related with the

petitioner. The bailors will undertake to furnish information to the

court about any change in the address of the petitioner, (ii)That the

petitioner shall undertake to be represented on the first date after

cognizance and in case he fails to do so, his bail bond will be liable

to be cancelled (iii) That the bailors shall also state on affidavit that

they will inform the court concerned if the petitioner is implicated in

any other case of similar nature after his release in the present case

and thereafter the court below will be at liberty to initiate the

proceeding for cancellation of bail on the ground of misuse, (iv)

That the petitioner will give an undertaking that he will receive the

police papers on the given date and be present on date fixed for

charge and if he fails to do so on two given dates and delays the trial

in any manner, his bail will be liable to be cancelled for reasons of

misuse and (v) That the petitioner will be well represented on each

date and if he fails to do so on two consecutive dates, his bail will be

liable to be cancelled.

JA/-                                            (Anjana Prakash,J.)
