IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.20545 of 2010 DEVENDRA YADAV son of Late Saguni Yadav Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 22.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 341, 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner had withdrawn his prayer on 5.1.210 vide Cr. Misc. No.42420 of 2009, but has renewed his prayer for bail that now the informant, who was the sole eye witness, is no more and four witnesses have been examined. A report was called for from the trial court as to whether any petition has been filed on behalf of the prosecution that the informant is no more, but it appears that no petition of such nature has been filed by the prosecution. However, the trial court has reported that PW 4, who is the son of the informant, has deposed that his mother is no more. On going through the First Information Report, it appears that informant had disclosed the fact that the petitioner had shot the deceased to her elder son Devendra Pd. Yadav, who has been examined as PW4 and Mangar Singh. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the serious nature of the offence. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
