IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
Cr.Misc. No.32023 of 2010
MANTOSH KUMAR
Versus
THE STATE OF BIHAR
-----------
2. 1.9.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and
the State.
The petitioner was granted regular bail on
2.7.2010 in Cr. Misc. no. 22259 of 2010 with an
observation that he was to be released if he had no
antecedent.
This application has been field for
modification of that order stating that he has one
antecedent in Barauni Rail P.S. Case No. 6 of 2010 under
Section 379 of the Penal Code.
Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly
acknowledges that it also relates to alleged theft of a
motorcycle. The petitioner is stated to have been
enlarged on bail therein. It is submitted that the
petitioner has now remained in custody since 20.1.2010.
Thus the prayer for modification. The Court queried from
the counsel that if bail were to be granted, in nature of
the allegation, in view of the antecedent why should the
conditions for bail be not modified. Learned counsel
submits that it may not be done.
Having considered the facts and
2
circumstances of the case in its entirety, that the
petitioner has an antecedent of a similar nature, the
period of custody in the present allegations, the order
dated 2.7.2010 is modified to the extent that the value of
the bail bonds is increased to Rs. 30,000/- (thirty
thousand) in context of Phulwaria P.S. Case No. 6 of
2010 pending in the Court of the Chief Judicial
Magistrate, Begusarai.
Both the sureties must be his father and
mother respectively whose photographs and proof of
residence shall be appended to the bail bonds to be
verified through the local police before final acceptance.
