Patna High Court – Orders
Pashupati Nath @ Pinkal vs The State Of Bihar on 5 August, 2011
             IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                     Cr.Misc. No.7900 of 2011
Pashupati Nath @ Pinkal, son of Sri Anil Kumar Choudhary, Resident
of Mohalla Garikhana, P.S. Khagaul, Dist. Patna.
                                               --------- Petitioner
                               Versus
The State of Bihar                            --------- Opp. Party
                            -----------

3 05.8.2011 Heard learned counsel for the

petitioner.

The prayer for bail of the

petitioner was in fact allowed by order dated

26.3.2009 in Cr. Misc. No. 50257 of 2008

subject to the condition that the petitioner

must have not more than two criminal cases

pending against him. It, however, transpires

that the petitioner has more than two

criminal cases against him and as such, when

the application was filed by him for

modification of the aforementioned order, the

same was rejected by an order dated 1.4.2010

in Cr. Misc. No. 41014 of 2009 with a

direction to the court below that the trial

of the petitioner, keeping in view that he

was in custody since 13.3.2008, must be

expedited and concluded preferably within a

period of six months.

When this bail application was filed

on 1.3.2011, a report was called for from the

trial court as to the present stage of trial
2

and the report, which has been received at

Flag-C dated 18.5.2011, would go to show that

the case itself was committed to the court of

sessions on 5.5.2011.

That being so, when the end of the

trial of the petitioner is nowhere in sight,

this Court considering also the fact that the

petitioner was found entitled for grant of

bail by this Court earlier, would direct for

release of the petitioner, namely, Pashupati

Nath @ Pinkal on bail on furnishing bail bond

of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two

sureties of the like amount each to the

satisfaction of Mr. Ranjeet Kumar,

Magistrate, 1st Class, Danapur, Patna in

connection with Rupaspur P.S. Case No. 34 of

2008, subject to the following conditions:-

(i) The two bail bonds will be

furnished, one by the Government servant and

the other by a close family relative.

(ii) The petitioner will remain

present in course of trial on each and every

day and his absence even for a single day

would automatically entail the consequences

of cancellation of his bail.

(iii) The petitioner in case is now

made accused in any other criminal case, that
3

would itself lead to cancellation of his

bail.

Subject to the aforementioned

conditions, the prayer for bail of the

petitioner is allowed.
