IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41930 of 2009 BINOD SINGH @ GORE, son of late Mundrika Singh, resident of village Khaira, P.S. Kawakole, District Nawadah Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 24.2.2010 Heard Mr. Pramod Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Sudarshan Sharma, learned counsel for the informant as also the learned counsel for the State. Mr. Mishra has sought bail for the petitioner in this case on the ground that a mis-statement was made by the Counsel for the informant on the earlier occasion as with regard to criminal antecedent and as such, the petitioner would be entitled for bail in the present case. The said submission is seriously opposed by Mr. Sharma by producing the order sheet that a case under section 307 I.P.C. is still pending and that the other case u/s 376 I.P.C. in which he was acquitted by itself cannot be said to be proof of the fact that that he had no criminal antecedent. This Court has, therefore, to take the statement of the petitioner with a pinch of salt, inasmuch as earlier also an attempt 2 was made by projecting a picture that the petitioner had got no criminal antecedent, but on that occasion also it was found that at least two cases, one u/s 307 I.P.C. and the other for minor offences were pending even on that date. Even today it cannot be said that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent in presence of there being Kanakole P.S. Case o. 38/2007 admittedly pending apart from the present case for offence under Section 307 and other allied Section of I.P.C. That being so, this Court would once again condemn the attitude of the petitioner in making an attempt to snatch an order for bail by making a false statement. In that view of the matter the earlier liberty given to the petitioner for moving this Court after December, 2010 is hereby withdrawn and the trial court is only now directed to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is completed expeditiously. With the aforementioned observation, this application is dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
