I. A. (Cr.) No. 2755/2010

In this interlocutory application, the appellant No.2, namely, Sabir Sah has

prayed for his release on bail during the pendency of this appeal.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant No.2 submitted that

though the prayer for bail of the appellant No.2 was earlier rejected by this Court, he

has remained in custody for more than seven years; there is no allegation of any overt

act against the appellant No.2; his conviction is only under Section 120(B) IPC; the

appeal is of the year 2004 and there is no likelihood of the appeal being taken up for

hearing in near future.

Learned A.P.P opposed the prayer for bail of the appellant No.2, but has not

disputed the said facts and contentions of learned counsel for the appellant No.2.

Regard being had to the facts and circumstances of the case, during the

pendency of this appeal, the above named appellant No.2 is directed to be enlarged on

bail on furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/-(Ten thousand only) with two sureties of the

like amount each to the satisfaction of learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Bokaro

in connection with Sessions Trial No. 84/2001.

This interlocutory application stands disposed of.
