IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr Misc No 10435 of 2009 Sanjib Singh @ Makhia Singh, son of Shiv Balak Singh, Resident of Village - Chetan Tola Khutaha, P S - Barhiya, District - Lakhisarai - Petitioner Versus State of Bihar - Opposite Party ----------- 3 25.05.2009 The petitioner surrendered on 18.01.2009 in relation to Barhiya Police Station Case No 8 of 2003 instituted under Sections 302/34 of Indian Penal code and Section 27 of Arms Act. Petitioner has been chargesheeted as an absconder. As per the first information report itself, petitioner was the order given on whose order, the deceased was shot. Inspite of the aforesaid fact, petitioner has absconded for over six years. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the person who shot the deceased, namely, Pankaj Singh has been granted bail by this Court. I am afraid that cannot inure to the benefit of the petitioner as Pankaj Singh has sought bail and was granted bail way back in 2006 itself. Petitioner continued to abscond. Application is rejected. The petitioner may renew his prayer for bail if the trial is not concluded within one year. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
