IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17077 of 2011 Chhotu Mian, S/O-Eqbal Mian Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 05 03.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is in jail custody since 16.07.2010 in a case registered under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. There is specific allegation of causing fire arm injury to informant against the petitioner. The reason behind the alleged occurrence is said that prior to the alleged occurrence, petitioner had caused fire arm injury to informant and when he came out from the jail he started mounting pressure upon the informant to compromise the previous case and when the informant refused, the petitioner again opened fire on him. The supplementary affidavit of the petitioner reveals that informant, Investigating Officer and doctor are still left to be examined. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that last prosecution witness was examined on 19.04.2011 and there is no likelihood of conclusion of trial of the petitioner in near future. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, at least, at this stage. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 26 of 2011/09 of 2011 arising out of Kotwali P.S. Case No. 211 of 2010 pending in the court 2 of Additional Sessions Judge-IV, Gaya is, hereby, rejected. However, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after examination of the informant. The learned trial court should expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to procure the attendance of the informant. SHAHZAD ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
