IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.34029 of 2011 1. Mukesh Mahto, son of Jai Prakash Mahto. 2. Nagmani Mahto, son of Jai Prakash Mahto. Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 3 19.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners seek bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 364, 511, 120B, 307, 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution case is that son of the informant was being dragged away by some unknown miscreants at which some villagers intervened and saved his life. The miscreants allegedly fired at the villagers but none was injured. The further allegation in the first information report was that the son of the informant was in jail custody and he had been threatened by the petitioners of dire consequences and it was on their direction that the present occurrence had taken place. Considering the nature of offence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The prayer for bail is rejected as also for the reasons that the petitioners have criminal antecedents. However, since no one was injured in the transaction, the petitioners may renew their prayer for bail after framing of charge, if their case is not bifurcated. Md. Ibrarul ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
