IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.23879 of 2011 Ashok Singh Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 03. 14.10.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for State assisted by learned counsel for the informant. Petitioner is in jail custody since 03.03.2011 in a case registered under Sections 324, 307/34 of the I.P.C. and Section 27 of the Arms Act on the charges that he opened fire causing fire-arm injury at the upper part of waist (Panjra) of informant. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that as a matter of fact informant was cutting the crop of the petitioner and when petitioner made protest then the informant took out the pistol and tried to open fire on the petitioner but in course of scuffle the fire took place as a result of which informant sustained injury. Para-43 of the case-diary reveals that the doctor had found grievous injury on the person of the injured. Considering the above stated submissions as well as facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to release the petitioner Ashok Singh on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Piri Bazar P.S. Case No. 6 of 2011 pending in the Court of C.J.M., Lakhisarai is hereby rejected. Mkr. (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
