IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.10500 of 2010 SURESH SAH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 05. 22.09.2010 Petitioner is languishing in jail since 03.11.2009 in a case registered under Sections 364, 302, 201/34 of the I.P.C. The petitioner is named in the F.I.R. The case was instituted in 2000 whereas the petitioner surrendered after nine years. It is submitted that it is a case of circumstantial evidence in which other similarly situated accused persons have been granted bail. Considering the fact that petitioner has surrendered after nine years of the institution of the case, when he has been charge-sheeted and declared absconder by the police, on that ground alone, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at present. The application for grant of bail of the petitioner stands rejected in connection with Dhamdaha P.S. Case No. 19 of 2000. Shageer ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
