IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.46363 of 2009 DHIRAJ SONAR @ DHEERAJ KUMAR, SON OF LATE SHYAM CHANDRA PRASAD @ NAVIN CHANDRA PRASAD, Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 04/03/2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections ¾ of the Explosive Substance Act. The prosecution case is that some unknown criminal threw Bomb in the courtyard of the house intimidating him into payment of extortion money. During investigation, an eye witness was examined in paragraph-8 who stated it was the petitioner who had thrown the said Bomb. The antecedent report of the petitioner was called for from which it appears that the petitioner is an accused in ten cases but by way of explanation, a supplementary affidavit has been filed stating therein that out of 10 cases, in seven cases the petitioner has been acquitted and there are only three cases excluding the present case pending against the petitioner. However, In view of the seriousness of nature of the offence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial so as to conclude it within six months in which the petitioner shall cooperate and in case he does not do so, an adverse inference shall be drawn against him when he renews his prayer for bail later on.
