IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.23609 of 2011 Arun Mandal Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 04/ 28.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is accused in a case registered under section 302/34 of the IPC and 27 of the Arms Act. Although learned counsel for the petitioner tried to convince me about innocence of the petitioner by placing this argument that in course of investigation, two versions came in this case and one Rakesh Singh, who is said to have informed the informant about the alleged occurrence, has also been made accused in this case but I am not at all convinced with the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner because as per prosecution case itself, it was the petitioner and one accused, namely, Barun Mandal, who opened fire on the deceased causing death of the deceased. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Shahkund (Sajoun) P.S. Case no. 122/2009 corresponding to Sessions Trial no. 679/2010 pending in the court of Addl. Sessions Judge IV, Bhagalpur is, hereby, rejected. However, the trial court should expedite the trial of the petitioner. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
