IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8983 of 2010 RAKESH SHUKLA, SON OF SRI NAND KUMAR SHUKLA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 16/03/2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The occurrence took place because the petitioner wanted to scare the Informant into awarding him some contractual work. Under the circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner who has criminal antecedents. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it positively within a period of six months keeping in view the seriousness of the nature of the offence involved in this case.
