                 ORAL ORDER


2   20-11-2014Since both these cases for bail arise out of a common
                  FIR and, hence, they have been heard together and are being
                  disposed of by a common order.2            Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.42081 of 2014 (2) dt.20-11-20142/2The petitioners seek bail in connection with Lalganj
                       P.S. Case No. 209 of 2013 registered for the offences punishable
                       underSections 302,201and120Bof the Indian Penal Code.It has been contended on behalf of the petitioners that
                       the FIR has been registered on the basis of a complaint which
                       was filed after seven months of the alleged incident of
                       occurrence. There is no explanation for the inordinate delay in
                       filing the complaint. It has further been contended that another
                       co-accused namely, Jaleshwar Bhagat having more or less
                       identical allegation has already been ordered to be released on
                       bail by a Bench of this Court on 17th June, 2014 in Cr. Misc. No.
                       15596 of 2014.Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer
                       for bail. However, he does not dispute the fact that the case of the
                       petitioners stands more or less on identical footing to that of co-
                       accused Jaleshwar Bhagat who has already been granted bail.Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the
                       case, the petitioners are directed to be released on bail on
                       furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) each with
                       two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the
                       learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali at Hajipur in
                       connection with Lalganj P.S. Case No. 209 of 2013.(Ashwani Kumar Singh, J.)
