Versus
1. THE STATE OF BIHAR

-----------
2. 16.6.2011. Heard Shri Tribhuwan Narayan,
learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri
Surendra Kumar, learned Additional Public
Prosecution appearing on behalf of the
State and Shri Bipin Kumar Sinha, learned
Standing Counsel for the C.B.I.
The petitioner, who is in custody
in Special Case No.6 of 2011 (arising out
of R.C. Case No.08/A/2011) registered for
the offence under Section 7 of the P.C. Act
since 29.3.2011, has prayed for grant of
bail.
In this case, it was alleged that
petitioner acted as conduit and he had
taken bribe money initially and thereafter
handed over the same to the Branch Manager,
who has already been made accused in the
present case. Learned counsel for the
petitioner submits that the Branch Manager,
namely, Ramnath Chaudhary, who was the main
2
accused, has been extended the privilege of
bail by this Court on 18.5.2011 vide Cr.
Misc. No.12800 of 2011.
Shri Bipin Kumar Sinha, learned
Standing Counsel for C.B.I. has vehemently
opposed the prayer for bail.
Since the main accused, who was
Branch Manager, has been granted bail,
there is no reason to deny the prayer for
bail to the petitioner.
Let the petitioner above named be
enlarged on bail on his bond of Rs.10,000/-
(ten thousand) with two sureties of the
like amount each to the satisfaction of
Special Judge, C.B.I., South Bihar, Patna
in Special Case No.6 of 2011 on a condition
that petitioner will co-operate during the
trial and if the trial court considers that
directly or indirectly the petitioner is
trying to delay the conclusion of the
trial, the trial court shall be at liberty
to cancel his bail bond.
