IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3168 of 2010 KAJAL MAHTO, S/o Late Ramswroop Mahto. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 08.02.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 149 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Taking into consideration the fact that the occurrence is of the year 1999 and the petitioner was remanded only on 12.08.2008 i.e. nine years later, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner who has criminal antecedent. The prayer for bail is rejected. The learned Magistrate is directed to commit the case to the Court of Sessions so that the trial can be held within a reasonable time. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
