IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.18079 of 2010 RANJEET KUMAR PASWAN @ RANJEET KUMAR son of Chhote Paswan Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR With Cr. Misc. No. 23701 of 2010 JITENDRA KUMAR son of Kishun Mahto Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 20.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners seek bail in a case instituted for the offence under section 302, 120-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It has been submitted that the petitioners are not named in the First Information Report and subsequently when one Jai Narain Mistry was arrested he disclosed that five persons had been hired for committing this occurrence but the petitioners’’ name did not figure amongst them. Subsequently, the petitioners were arrested and they are said to have given confessional statement admitting that they had been hired and petitioner Jitendra Kumar was put on test identification parade in which he was identified by Arjun Prasad that he was the person, who shot at the deceased. Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trail in view of the serious nature of the offence. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
