IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25841 of 2010 RAJ KISHORE SINGH @ MANTU SINGH son of Sri Umesh Prasad Singh, resident of village-Pagambarpur Gorigama, P.S.Goroul, District- Vaishali. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 6. 3.3.2011. Heard Mr. Awadhesh Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mrs. Indu Bala Pandey, learned Additional Public Prosecutor. The petitioner, who is in custody in connection with Goroul P.S. Case No.152 of 2009 for the offence under sections 364, 365, 302, 201, 379 and 411/34 of the Indian Penal Code, has prayed for grant of bail. First information report was lodged against unknown on accusation that some accused persons had hired a Bolero vehicle of the son of the informant. Subsequently, dead body of the son of the informant was found and vehicle was also found at a particular place in abandoned condition. The petitioner’s name has surfaced on the basis of confession of one co-accused-Mithu Paswan, who had disclosed that he had handed over the vehicle on hire to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that save and except confession of co-accused-Mithu Paswan, there is nothing on the record to connect the petitioner with the crime and co- accused, Mithu Paswan, has been extended privilege of bail by this court on 8.4.2010 vide Cr.Misc. No.6556 of 2010. Mrs. Indu Bala Pandey, learned Additional Public 2 Prosecutor, submits that during investigation it has come that the petitioner had telephonic talk with co-accused, Mithu Paswan. In view of the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail stands rejected. Since the petitioner is in custody with effect from 27.11.2009, it is desirable to observe that the learned court below will take all steps so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay.
