IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.30063 of 2010 BRIJ KISHORE RAI son of Bilash Rai @ Rambilash Rai Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 27.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 147, 148, 341, 323, 324, 307 of the Indian Penal Code, section 27 of the Arms Act and section 3(i) (x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Considering that there is allegation against the petitioner of having fired at the injured and he remained absconding for about eight years, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge. It is made clear that the case of the petitioner shall not be bifurcated for the purpose of commitment or framing of charge and in case it is done, his prayer for bail shall not be considered.
