IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.44259 of 2010 MEWALAL RAJBANSHI son of Late Bundal Rajbanshi Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 15.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 364-A, 379 of the Indian Penal Code. It has been submitted that the petitioner is not named in the First Information Report nor has he been named in the victim’s statement and other co-accused persons were granted bail as also acquitted by the trial court and the only material that has transpired is the confession of the co-accused for which he is in custody since 30.08.2010. Considering that the petitioner remained absconding for a long period and even though his name transpired during investigation as also co-accused persons were put on trial, I am not inclined to grant bail to petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. JA/- (Anjana Prakash,J.)
