IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35391 of 2009 JULFI YADAV, S/O Late Manraj Yadav, Resident of Village-Donihar, Police Station-Katoria, District- Banka. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 14/10/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering the omnibus nature of allegation against the petitioner in the F.I.R. u/s 302 of the I.P.C and other allied offences in which primal role of assailant is ascribed against Raghunath Yadav, doing away with the life of one Karu Yadav, the deceased, this Court could have granted bail to the petitioner, had he being a named accused, also surrendered in time. This Court would however find that the petitioner after happily remaining absconding for a period over two years had surrendered when he found that other co-accused, having similar allegation, were granted bail. In this connection from the computerized statement annexed with this bail application by the Office of this Court, it would find that co-accused Guni Yadav, who had surrendered in the year 2008, was ultimately granted bail after remaining in custody for a period of one year approximately, inasmuch as, his earlier bail application was rejected by this Court on 9.1.2009 and he was ultimately granted bail on 4.9.2009. That being so, the petitioner may renew his prayer for 2 bail before this Court after completing one year of his judicial custody. With the aforementioned observation this application is dismissed.
