IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.8585 of 2011 Binod Mehta @ Marandi Jee son of Anugrah Prasad Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 3/ 07.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 302, 120-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner is not named in the First Information Report. Subsequently, it transpired that the petitioner had called up a witness threatening that it was he who had got the deceased murdered since he had refused to pay Rangdari to him. Similar statements were made by other witnesses and circumstantially there was material to show that it was the petitioner, who had got his work executed for non-fulfillment of Rangdari. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the serious nature of the offence.
