IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
CR. APP (DB) No.977 of 2007
MUMTAZ MANSURI @ MUMTAJ MANSOORI
Versus
STATE OF BIHAR
-----------
3 10.07.2008 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned
counsel for the State in respect of I.A. No. 1275 of 2008 through
which the appellant Mumtaz Mansuri has renewed his prayer for
bail, which was earlier rejected on 1.8.2007.
It has been submitted that one co-accused Mansur Mansuri
has been allowed bail in Cr. Appeal No. 1028 of 2007. That order has
been annexed as Annexue 1 to the 1A. It shows that the victim boy
was recovered from the house of Mansur Mansuri but the Court
considered the evidence of informant at the time of recovery. The
said accused had gone away from his house in connection with
treatment of his wife and that accused had played no role in the actual
kidnapping of the boy, whereas from the materials on record and
particularly the evidence of the kidnapped boy aged about 11 years it
is clear that being a relation, this appellant with the help of other
persons kidnapped that boy but since he was going with the victim,
the police traced the boy, and recovered him on the next day of the
kidnapping.
Considering the role played by this appellant in a
kidnapping of a minor boy his prayer is again rejected at this stage.
