IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.45740 of 2009 SURANJEET SHARMA, son of Ram Kishor Sharma Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4/ 11.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 341, 323, 325 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code. It has been submitted that the present case has been instituted on account of previous enmity and in fact, the deceased had sustained injuries while he was in a drunken stage and fell on the bamboo clamp which is supported by paragraph 5 of the case diary and initial injury report of the deceased shows that the deceased had sustained injury on his right foot and he was referred to PMCH after giving first aid and no injury was found on the head. The informant is not the eye witness to the occurrence and he has disclosed the version of the wife of Puna Sonar, who has been examined in Para 10 of the case diary, and she supports the fact that it is the sole petitioner, who had assaulted the deceased due to which he succumbed to the injured later and the eye witness account of wife of Puna Sonar is supported in paragraph 11 by Laxaman Sonar. Under the circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial so as to conclude it within the reasonable time. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
