                      Cr.Misc. No.21576 of 2010
                          KAUSHAL KUMAR
                                Versus
                 CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIO
                               -----------

02 02.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner

and learned counsel for the Central Bureau of

Investigation.

The submission is that as per allegations

the petitioner, as the D.G.M. (C.F.A) B.S.N.L.,

Muzaffarpur was allegedly caught accepting bribe of

Rs. 5,000/- for clearing certain bills of Rs.

1,00,000/-. He is stated to be in custody since

3.6.2010.

Learned counsel for the C.B.I. vehemently

opposes the application, praying adjournment for

one month to seek instructions. He submits that if

the petitioner is enlarged on bail, he may interfere

with the witnesses and tamper evidence.

Considering the quantum of the

allegations and the period of custody, let the

petitioner, above named, be enlarged on bail on

furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 05,000/- (Five

thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each

to the satisfaction of Special Judge, North Bihar,

Patna in connection with R.C. Case No. 13 of 2010

(Special Case No. 07 of 2010).

Should the apprehension of the counsel for

the C.B.I. fructify after the petitioner is enlarged on

bail, the present order obviously cannot be to the

prejudice of the C.B.I. in pursuing remedies in

accordance with law.
