Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.38358 of 2012 (2) dt.17-10-2012 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No. 38358 of 2012 =================================================== Shashikant Tiwari S/o Late Dadan Tiwari R/o Village- Barki Nainijora, P.S- Nainijora, District- Buxar. .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s =================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 02. 17.10.2012 Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the State. The Petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under [STATUTE] and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The Petitioner was refused bail by order dated 23.09.2011 considering the merits of the case. The prayer for bail has been renewed on the ground of undue delay in trial. From perusal of the impugned order it appears that five witnesses have been examined uptill now out of which four have fully supported the prosecution case that it was the Petitioner who had fired at the victim. In view of such, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
