Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 04/ 16.07.2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is in jail custody since 17.5.2011 in a case initially, registered under [STATUTE] and 27 of the Arms Act but after one month, [STATUTE] was also added. Allegedly, petitioner opened fire causing fire arms injuries to the informant as well as his son. Learned counsel for the petitioner drew my attention towards this fact that even after completion of investigation, Investigating officer could not succeed to collect any injury report as well as post mortem report. It is further contended by him that in absence of injury report as well as post mortem report, it is hard to believe that informant died on account of fire arms injury. In support of his contention, he drew my attention towards para 17 of the case diary. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioner, Suresh Rai, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Addl.
