THE STATE OF BIHAR. ----------- 04. 22.03.2010 This case has come under the heading “To be Mentioned” at the instance of the Court since a request has been made from the Computer Department to recast the order once again, under the circumstances the order No. 3 dated 24.02.2010 is as follows:- Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. On 12.5.1999 the informant Ajay Nut filed a first information report stating therein that his uncle had been done to death by unknown persons. Thereafter the wife of the deceased gave a petition before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, explaining that it is on account of fear of the accused persons that they were not named in the first information report. Thereafter the wife of the deceased in statement u/s - 2 - 164 Cr.P.C. reiterating her earlier stand stated that it is the petitioner, who had fired at the deceased, due to which he died. Processes were issued against the petitioner way back in the year 1999 itself but he has chosen to appear before the court only on 2.10.2008. Under the circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial. Let the order be read to the aforesaid extent. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
