IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45006 of 2009 NAWAL SINGH son of Jagdish Singh Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 24.12.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 449 and 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner remained absconding for almost 13 years and also he is of the assailants of the deceased, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected for the present. The trial court is well advised to immediately serve the police papers to the petitioner and commit the case to the court of sessions so that trial can be concluded within a reasonable time. The case is of the year 1995. Md.S. (Anjana Prakash,J.)
