IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34818 of 2008 KARI MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 29.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. Petitioner’s prayer for bail in connection with Dalsingsarai P.S. Case No. 83 of 2005 for offence under section 394, 302 I.P.C. and Section 27 of the Arms Act, which was earlier rejected by the High Court on 19.07.2007. The bail application has been filed afresh merely on the ground that the petitioner has been in custody for a longer period, but no new fresh material has come to show that the complicity of the petitioner is mitigated in any manner or the evidence examined by the Court earlier has undergone any further change. Looking at the seriousness of the offence as well as the earlier order of rejection, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The trial court is, however, advised to expedite the trial of the petitioner. Rajeev/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
