IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17324 of 2008 RAMANUJ MOCHI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 16.7.2008 Heard. The bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected in a case under section 302/34 of the I.P.C. and section 27 of the Arms Act. on 30.8.2007 with observation that the trial be expedited as the case is of the year, 2005. It appears that as per the allegation in the F.I.R. some of the accused persons including Ratan Mochi caught hold of the deceased and opened fire which hit below of arm pit of the informant’s father causing his death. Learned counsel submits that there is no progress in the trial.He further submits that the informant in his subsequent statement stated that the co-accussed, Ratan Mochi, had opened fire. I find that in the F.I.R. there is specific allegation that this petitioner had opened fire causing death. In the facts and circumstances of the case I am not inclined to grant him bail. His prayer for bail is rejected. However, the learned trial court shall try to get the trial concluded preferably within eight months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
