IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20616 of 2009 ARJUN SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 22.06.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner who is an accused in a case instituted under section 302 IPC, has approached this Court for grant of bail. A perusal of the FIR and the impugned order indicates that the petitioner assaulted three of his jail inmates with bricks. It appears that one of them, namely, Alakhdeo Mahto died in course of treatment and two others received serious injuries. Counsel for the petitioner in support of the prayer draws attention of this Court to the complaint lodged by the son of the deceased on 12.8.2008 wherein allegation has been made against the informant (jailor). Having regard to the allegations and the materials collected in support thereof, as reflected from the impugned order, this Court is not satisfied that a case for grant of bail has been made out. Accordingly the prayer for bail made on behalf of the petitioner is rejected. However, if the trial of the case is not taken up and the evidence on behalf of the prosecution is not - 2 - concluded within one year from the date of receipt of this order in the court below, the petitioner shall have liberty to approach this Court. hr ( Kishore K.
