Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.37736 of 2012 (3) dt.19-12-2012 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.37736 of 2012 ====================================================== 1. Lalan Yadav S/O Late Dasai Yadav .... .... Petitioner/s Versus 1. The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 3 19-12-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is in jail custody since 26.03.2012 in a case registered under [STATUTE] and 27 of the Arms Act. Petitioner is named in the first information report and it appears that charge sheet was submitted against the petitioner showing him absconder. The learned trial court has reported that charge has been framed against the petitioner on 29.03.2012 and the case is pending for recording the prosecution evidence. The contention on behalf of the petitioner is that the other accused faced trial in Sessions Trial No. 400 of 1996 and he was acquitted vide order dated 14.02.2012. It is further contended by him that petitioner is a poor labourer and he had gone outside Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.37736 of 2012 (3) dt.19-12-2012 the State in connection with his livelihood. I am not, at all, convinced with the above stated submission of learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the previous conduct of the petitioner, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 400 A of 1996 arising out of Jogapatti P.S. Case No. 141 of 1993 is, hereby, rejected. However, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after one year, if his trial is not concluded within the above stated period.
