Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 3 18-04-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This is a petition for regular bail for the offence under [STATUTE] . There is specific allegation that the petitioner gave a Garasa blow on the head of the deceased on which the deceased succumbed to injury. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though there is allegation of Garasa blow but the post-mortem report shows to be a lacerated wound. Hence, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. However, the trial of the case may be expedited and if the trial is not concluded within nine months then the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected.
