                      IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                                  Cr.Misc. No.11545 of 2010
                               BISHUNI SAHNI S/O JAGDISH SAHNI
                                               Versus
                                     THE STATE OF BIHAR
                                             -----------

3. 1.7.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the

offence under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code.

It has been submitted that the petitioner is not named in

the first information report, but subsequently it appears that the

petitioner’s name was disclosed in the confessional statement of

the co-accused. Thereafter when he was put on test identification

parade, he was identified by four witnesses, one of whom was not

examined during investigation.

However, considering the nature of allegations against

the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this

stage.

The prayer for bail is rejected.

However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail

after framing of charge. It is made clear that the petitioner’s case

shall not be bifurcated for purposes of consideration of bail of the

petitioner.
