IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23562 of 2009 BADRI MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 13.8.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that 12 persons have been shown as assailants even using bhala and farsa. Some of them were alleged specifically for using bhala and farsa but finding the post mortem report regarding injuries caused by hard and blunt substance, the accused persons alleged for using bhala and farsa have been allowed bail but one of them is Deepak for whom the wife of the deceased has stated about using lathi and he has also been allowed bail. I find the case of Deepak not on footing of this petitioner as he was shown armed with bhala and one of the witnesses only states about his using lathi. Petitioner’s bail on merit has already been rejected by this Court. The trial is at the stage of - 2 - evidence. According to learned counsel for the informant, one of the witnesses is examined also so a direction may be given for expeditious trial in this regard. Let the trial be expedited. This disposes of the petition. The prayer for bail on behalf of the petitioner is rejected. (Mandhata Singh,J.) AI
