IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22557 of 2010 DILIP MAHTON, SON OF RAM LOCHAN MAHTON Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 12.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 447, 384, 387, 307, 302, 120(B), 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Even though the allegation against the petitioner was serious in nature and made in the year 2008, he has chosen to appear before the court only on 6.4.2010 whereas the case of the co-accused was bifurcated and were put on trial. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge. It is made clear that the petitioner’s case shall not be bifurcated with the case of any other accused left to be charge sheeted and charged for the purposes of this order. At the time of renewal of his prayer for bail, the petitioner shall clearly state about his antecedents. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
