Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.37595 of 2011 ====================================================== Pramod Singh S/O Late Ramdeo Singh Resident Of Village - Sarbadipur, Police Station - Paraiya, And District- Gaya .... .... Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER 03. 08-02-2012 Heard the parties. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Sessions Trial No. 35 of 2010 arising from Paraiya P.S. Case no. 38 of 2005 registered for offence punishable under [STATUTE] and subsequently [STATUTE] was added to the set of allegations by reason of death of the parents of the petitioner. The allegation as set out in the F.I.R. charges this petitioner along with his brother Gopal Singh of assaulting his father, his mother and his other brothers causing grievous injuries as a result whereof the parents succumbed to their injuries. The case is of the year 2005 and the petitioner with specific allegation of assault against his brothers and his parents has evaded the arrest all this while only to surrender on 30.5.2011. Learned counsel with the aid and support of an order dated Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.37595 of 2011 (3) dt.08-02-2012 2 31.3.2010 passed in Criminal Misc. No.3952 of 2010, submits that the other co-accused Gopal Singh has since been released on bail by a bench of this Court. A perusal of the order passed in the case of Gopal Singh shows that his earlier case for bail being rejected on 18.5.2009, it is on the second attempt that this Court by order dated 31.3.2010 released him on bail. The case of the petitioner stands absolutely distinct from the said case for the reason that he has been absconding all this while. Considering the circumstances, no case for indulgence is made out and the prayer is refused. The application is dismissed. As the record manifests that the trial has started, the learned trial court would be well advised to expedite the trial. Let the order be communicated to the court concerned by FAX at the cost and expense of the petitioner. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J)
