IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24420 of 2008 PREM KUMAR, S/o. Udeshwar Bhagat, r/o. village- Chainpur, P.S. Bhagwanganj, District- Patna. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03 18.02.2009 The case is under Section 307 and other Sections of the I.P.C. as well as Section 27 of the Arms Act. This is the fourth attempt of the petitioner, his prayer for bail having been rejected earlier thrice vide this Court’s order dated 10.03.2006, 13.11.2006 and 23.05.2007 under respective Cr. Misc. Nos. 42106 of 2005, 45122 of 2006 and 24289 of 2007 on the ground that the petitioner had fired twice on the informant’s brother Kamlesh Bhagat, due to which he had sustained fire-arm injury on the neck. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the injury was simple in nature and the petitioner is in custody since 06.05.2005 i.e., for a period exceeding three years and ten months but the trial has not been concluded. Learned Addl.P.P. has submitted that the petitioner had fired twice. 2 In the facts and circumstances, I do not feel inclined to reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner for the present. Hence, the bail prayer of the petitioner is rejected. However if so advised, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after one year if the trial is not concluded within the period. Mkr. (C.M.
