-----------
2 14.03.2011 The petitioner claims to be a student and is in custody in
relation to Forbesganj Police Station Case No 440 of 2010 instituted
under Section 395 of Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is not named in the
first information report. It is alleged that 8 to 10 people raided the house
of the informant committing dacoity and walked away, apart from others,
with jewelleries. On a confession by one co-accused, petitioner’s name
also transpired and petitioner was arrested and it is alleged that from the
possession of petitioner, a locket was recovered which was put on test
identification parade and identified by the informant. Learned counsel for
the petitioner states and draws attention of the Court to the fact that three
persons were arrested simultaneously with the petitioner. From all their
pockets, lockets were recovered. As per the first information report, only
one locket was stolen. It would be the submission of the learned counsel
for the petitioner that there is strong reason for false implication inasmuch
as a few days earlier, there was serious differences between the
petitioner’s father and the Officer-in-charge in relation to demand of
licence for selling of crackers on the eve of Diwali. In this relation, a
Sanha was also lodged against the Officer-in-charge by the father of the
petitioner on 03.11.2010 itself almost ten days prior to the occurrence.
Be that as it may, the petitioner abovenamed is directed to
be released on bail on his furnishing bonds of Rs 10,000/- (Rupees Ten
2
Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of
Chief Judicial Magistrate, Araria in Forbesganj Police Station Case No
440 of 2010 subject to the condition that the father of the petitioner would
be one of the sureties.
