IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13047 of 2010 KOKAN MANDAL, S/o Sri Jagdish Mandal. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 28.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner kept absconding for about ten years and is in custody 21.03.2009. From the impugned order it appears that four witnesses out of six have already been examined, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Without entering into the merits of the case, the prayer for bail is rejected with the observation that the trial court will examine rest witnesses as expeditiously as possible.
