Rajendra Rai S/O Late Ramji Rai Resident Of Village- Sikandra, Police Station- Barh, District- Patna .... Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar .... Opposite Party ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 7 06-12-2012 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. This is a petition for grant of regular bail for offence under [STATUTE] and 27 of the Arms Act. There is direct allegation against the petitioner to have fired causing injury to the deceased by which he succumbed to injury. The learned counsel for the petitioner, however, contends that the occurrence took place due to land dispute and the petitioner is in jail. However, from the report of the Session's Judge, Patna, and the Additional Sessions Judge, II, Barh, Patna, it is apparent that the argument in Sessions Trial No. 350 of 2011 is going on day-to-day basis, since 21.11.2012. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at the fag end of the argument. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, by order, dated 09.11.2012, a show cause notice was issued to the Session's Judge, Patna, as well as the Additional Sessions Judge, II, Barh, Patna. A show cause has been filed by the Session's Judge, Patna, and the Additional Sessions Judge, II, Barh, Patna, which is accepted with a direction to enquire, fixing the responsibility in compliance of the order and take suitable step against the erring employee.
