IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22617 of 2009 ASHOK YADAV, son of Brahmdeo Yadav alias Barho Yadav, resident of Village- Mohammadpur, P.S. Naya Ram Nagar, District- Munger....................................................Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar.................................................Opposite Party. ----------- 2. 23.07.2009. Heard both sides. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under Sections 307/34, 302 of the Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. As per the allegation in the First Information Report, when the informant alongwith the deceased were returning home and as they reached near a tree, two accused persons including the petitioner intercepted the uncle of the informant. They fired which hit him. He was carried to hospital for medical treatment. Later he died. Thus, according to the First Information Report, the petitioner is the assailant. It appears that the deceased also divulged the name of the petitioner as one of his assailants. From the impugned order, it appears that the witnesses have supported the allegation. Considering all the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. The prayer for bail stands rejected. Learned counsel then submits that he is in custody since 17.6.2008. In that view of the matter, this Court observes that if the trial of the case is not taken up within 10 months from the date of receipt/communication of this order in the court below, the petitioner shall have liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
