IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42070 of 2009 UMA YADAV @ UMESH YADAV, S/O LAKHAN YADAV, R/O VILLAGE – PADMAWAT, P.S. – JAMUI, DISTRICT – JAMUI ----- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----- Opposite Party ----------- 3 30.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. No doubt other persons are also named as accused in the case registered under Sections 302, 120(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code but allegation against the petitioner is that he has given axe blow to the informant’s husband which has caused injury on his chest, shoulder and other places. The post-mortem report has been annexed as annexure -2 which shows that deceased has received ante-mortem incised wound upon his chin, shoulder whereas the allegation is of assault. Submission is that deceased himself was a criminal and there is possibility that he might have been killed by others. The petitioner has been in custody since 20th July 2009 and Binod Yadav and Musharhu Yadav has been granted bail by this court. The persons who have been granted bail were not the assailant, it is the petitioner who is assailant. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, presently, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner Uma Yadav. However, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the court below after one year from today. Praful ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
