Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR……………………OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Ajay Kumar Mukherjee, Advocate. For the State : Mr. R.P.S. Singh, A.P.P. --------- 4. 13.11.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections 436/324/34 and subsequently added Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is general and omnibus allegation against all the accused persons and the petitioner is in custody since 7.4.2008. It has also been submitted that during the course of investigation, which would be apparent from paragraphs 22 and 24 of the case diary, it has come that the fire was accidental. Learned A.P.P. for the State submitted that during the course of investigation the name of the petitioner has come 2 in setting on fire of the house of the informant alongwith the other co-accused which has ultimately caused death of two children. I have perused the report of the A.D.J., F.T.C. 2nd, Banka, with regard to the stage of the trial. It is manifest therefrom that the case is pending for the evidence of one eye witness and Doctor as well as the I.O. and the next date was fixed for 20.10.2009. Considering the fact that the case is of burning of two children due to setting of dwelling house on fire, I am not inclined to grant bail to this petitioner. As a result, this application is dismissed. However, the trial court is directed to conclude the trial within six months. P.S. (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J)
