JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 2 29-08-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the informant as well as learned counsel for the State. The petitioner has been arrested in connection with Ekma P.S. Case No. 9 of 1999, registered under [STATUTE] and Section 27 of the Arms Act. It is alleged that the brother of the informant had gone to attend nature call. The informant heard the sound of firing while he himself was attending call of nature. Then he rushed to the place of occurrence and saw his brother in injured state caused by firing. The brother who was injured disclosed the name of this petitioner who fired at him. Thereafter the brother of the informant was taken to hospital where he succumbed to injury. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there are several versions in the case diary as also the deceased was a veteran criminal. Having regard to the fact that there is direct allegation against the petitioner who fired to the deceased and deceased also disclosed the name of this petitioner, I am not inclined to grant Patna High Court Cr.Misc.
