JUSTICE AHSANUDDIN AMANULLAH ORAL ORDER 2. 02-11-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is in custody since 24.07.2012 in connection with Udwant Nagar P.S. Case No. 92 of 2012 instituted for offence punishable under [STATUTE] and Section 27 of the Arms Act. As per the prosecution story the petitioner is alleged to have come to a function where the people were enjoying dance and music in a marriage function and it is alleged that he fired indiscriminately resulting in injury to the informant besides two other known persons. As per the medical report three persons have been injured and all of them have sustained firearm injury. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that all the injuries found are below the knee and thus injury not being on any vital part of the body, the prosecution story of Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.37076 of 2012 (2) dt.02-11-2012 2 / 2 2 indiscriminate firing is not correct. He submits that the petitioner has been implicated due to local village politics. Learned counsel has drawn the attention of this Court to the two injury reports which show that firearms caused the injury. Learned A.P.P. for the State on the other hand opposes the prayer for bail and submits that three persons have been injured and the medical report states that the injuries were due to firearm. Learned counsel further submits that the conduct of the petitioner of firing indiscriminately in a function of dance and music to celebrate a marriage is serious crime and the petitioner does not deserve to be enlarged on bail. Upon hearing learned counsels for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, this application stands dismissed. Anand Kr. (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
