IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2624 of 2009 LALAN SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 10.09.2009 Heard both sides. While pressing this application seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Sections 302, 120B and 34 of Indian Penal Code, it is contended that the allegation is that petitioner and others intercepted the victim whereafter co-accused Ram Iswar Singh and Kaushal Kishore Singh fired from their respective weapons from a close range causing him death. It is contended that the deceased was a veteran criminal. It is next contended that on account of political rivalry, the petitioner has been named in this case. Learned counsel further highlights that the post mortem report does not corroborate the prosecution case and as such a reasonable doubt arises regarding the claim of the informant to be an eye witness to the occurrence. It is further contended that the petitioner has absolutely no criminal history. In the event of arrest or surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks, let petitioner above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., West Muzaffarpur in connection with Saraiya P.S. case no. 125 of 2008 subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438(2) of Code of Criminal 2 Procedure. No sooner the charges are framed in this case, the petitioner shall appear on each and every date fixed in the Court below. In case of default on two consecutive occasions without any cogent/satisfactory reason, the trial court will have liberty to cancel the bail bonds of the petitioner. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
