IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16216 of 2010 ALOK KUMAR JHA, SON OF LATE TAPESHWAR JHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 12.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 324, 307 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution case is that the Informant was shot at by unknown miscreants since he had taken action against an employee who had been appointed on fake papers. The petitioner is not named in the First Information Report but subsequently when one Sonu was arrested he gave a confessional statement implicating the petitioner. Considering the professional nature of the offence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner who has criminal antecedents. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the serious nature of the offence. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
