IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17436 of 2009 GYANENDRA SINGH @ CHUNNA SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 25.07.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Sections 147, 148, 354, 379 and 324 of Indian Penal Code. As per allegation in the F.I.R., on a dispute over a passage between the parties, the petitioner along with two others started assaulting the informant and other inmates. Specific allegation against the petitioner is that he put the rope around the neck of the wife of the informant and tried to pull the same causing injuries on neck. The injury report available on record indicates corresponding injuries on the neck. The size of the injury 9” X ¼”. The same was found to be grievous in nature as well as dangerous to life. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is infirm and, therefore, it is not possible for him to commit the offence in the manner alleged in the F.I.R. It is further contended that both the parties have fought over possession of a particular piece of land. Learned counsel also emphasized that prior to that, there was already title suit going on between the parties as also proceeding under Section 144 Cr.P.C. Learned counsel for the informant submits that the petitioner is accused of other cases of serious nature and while he was enjoying the privilege of bail, the present occurrence has 2 been committed. Learned APP also opposed the prayer and stated that the injuries sustained by the victim support the prosecution case. It appears that the petitioner is in custody since 25.3.2009. Having regard to the materials available on record and after hearing all the parties, this court for the present is not inclined to admit him to bail. His prayer for bail stands rejected. The petitioner is, however, granted liberty to renew prayer for bail after six (06) months, if in the meanwhile the case is not taken up for hearing. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
