Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.13133 of 2021(2) dt.16-07-2021 2/2
petitioner no.1 was the Assistant driver whereas the petitioner no.2 was the cleaner of the vehicle in-question. The main driver had asked them to take the vehicle back in the morning as the goods were to be unloaded in the night. Oblivious of the contents on the vehicle, they obliged by rendering their services. They have, thus, become victim of the circumstances. They are having no criminal antecedents and are in custody since 10.10.2020.
(i) That one of the bailors will be a close relative of the petitioners who will give an affidavit giving genealogy as to how he is related with the petitioners. The bailor will also undertake to inform the Court if there is any change in the address of the petitioners.
(ii) That the petitioners will be well represented on each date and if they fail to do so on two consecutive dates, their bail bond will be liable to be cancelled.
