¶20

Peculiar facts have been stated in the F.I.R. by the informant who is a Chaukidar. The informant on being told that one person has been kept captive in a village as he was carrying liquor, he went to the aforesaid village and wanted to take the aforesaid person (the petitioner) to the nearest police station. While he was accompanying him, the petitioner was rescued by some of his associates.

¶21

The informant does not seem to have informed the police station for taking the petitioner into custody. It appears that a false accusation has been made perhaps to cover up certain other facts which do not appear to be clear from the averments made in the F.I.R.

¶22

For the nature of accusation against the petitioner, he is directed to be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order, on his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs. 10,000 /- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sitamarhi, in connection with Nanpur P. S. Case
