IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9916 of 2010 RAJU MAHTO, SON OF PERMESHWAR MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 30/03/2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 364(A), 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner kept absconding for about ten years, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge. However, the learned Magistrate will not commit the case of the petitioner by bifurcating his trial with the other co-accused to expedite this process. S.Ali (Anjana Prakash, J.)
