Considering that the arms were recovered from

under the seat of the car on which the petitioner was

seated and he has fair antecedents, let the petitioner,

above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond

of Rs. 5,000/- (Five Thousand) with two sureties of the

like amount each or any other surety as fixed by the Court

to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate,

Sikrahana at Motihari in connection with Rajepur P.S.

Case No. 47 of 2011 subject to the following conditions:-

(i) That one of the bailors will be a close relative of the

petitioner who will give an affidavit giving genealogy as to

how he is related with the petitioner and the other bailor

shall be the wife of the petitioner. The bailor will also

undertake to inform the Court if there is any change in

the address of the petitioner. (ii) That the affidavit shall

clearly state that the petitioner is not an accused in any
2

other case and if he is he shall not be released on bail. (iii)

That the bailor shall also state on affidavit that he will

inform the court concerned if the petitioner is implicated

in any other case of similar nature after his release in the

present case and thereafter the court below will be at

liberty to initiate the proceeding for cancellation of bail on

the ground of misuse. (iv) That the petitioner will give an

undertaking that he will receive the police papers on the

given date and be present on date fixed for charge and if

he fails to do so on two given dates and delays the trial in

any manner, his bail will be liable to be cancelled for

reasons of misuse. (v) That the petitioner will be well

represented on each date and if he fails to do so on two

consecutive dates, his bail will be liable to be cancelled.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

he has been implicated repeatedly at the instance of the

protection of a person well reputed doing social service in

the area. Under the circumstances, the petitioner is

Motihari within fifteen days of his release and file a

certificate about the same in the Court. On filing of the

certificate the petitioner will be granted provisional bail for

a period of six months. In case, the petitioner does not file

a certificate about his reporting to the Head Priest within

noticed cancellation of bail. During six months the

petitioner is expected to engage himself in fruitful

activities under the guidance of the Head Priest, Local

Temple, Motihari and at the end of the six months, he will

file a certificate of his conduct in the court below issued

by the Head Priest. If the certificate granted to the

petitioner is found satisfactory, the court below will

confirm the provisional bail granted to the petitioner and

in case it is not, the petitioner will be taken in custody.
