IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.9227 of 2010 RANJIT SINGH, S/o Mainu Mandal. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04. 04.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 147, 149, 323, 342, 324, 326, 307 and 364/34 of the Indian Penal Code and later on Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code was added. The petitioner has been named in the First Information Report as one of the persons who called away the deceased and thereafter he was burnt to death. During investigation the deceased only stated that he had been burnt by the present petitioner and the mother of Nitu Kumari with whom there was allegedly love affairs. The submission of the petitioner is that the mother of Nitu Kumari has been released by this Court and initially charge-sheet was submitted under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. However, from the order of Sanyogita Devi it appears she was released on bail also considering that the charge-sheet had been submitted under Section 306 of the Indian 2 Penal Code but now there has been an amendment in the charge-sheet and Section 302 IPC is added as revealed by the impugned order. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it within a reasonable time.
