IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2161 of 2010 BHUPENDRA @ BHUPENDRA RAJAK @ BHUPENDRA BAITHA, S/o Late Vilas Rajak. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 09.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant is not an eye-witness to the occurrence and has given a hearsay account of his father having been shot at by the present petitioner. During investigation eye-witness also supported the fact that one of the assailants of the deceased was the petitioner. Twelve days later another version transpired through another set of witnesses who said that unknown persons had in fact had fired at the deceased. Taking into consideration the fact there is eye- witness account of the petitioner having shot at the deceased, 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 so as to conclude it within a reasonable time. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
