IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26803 of 2010 SHANKAR MANDAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 06.08.2010 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Rupauli P.S. Case No. 107 of 1996 for offences punishable under Sections 364,302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Considering the fact that the case is of the year 1996 and the petitioner has been absconding for 14 years, I am not inclined to consider the prayer of the petitioner for bail. The application is dismissed. Bibhash (Jyoti Saran, J.)
