Case Facts:
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.21669 of 2012 (4) dt.22-08-2012 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No. 21669 of 2012 ====================================================== Ravindra Roy @ Ravindar Ray .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 4 22-08-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a case under [STATUTE] . There is specific allegation that this petitioner assaulted by Farsa on the head of the deceased by which he succumbed to injury. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though it is stated that the assault inflicted by Farsa but the injury report suggests that the injury is lacerated wound on the occipital region. Hence, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that there is direct allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail then the same may be considered without being prejudiced by this order. Kundan/- (Gopal Prasad, J.)
