IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.11556 of 2009 BABU RAM YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Bhola Prasad, Advocate For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhaya, A.P.P. -------- 3 22.05.2009 Petitioner BABU RAM YADAV, one of the FIR named accused of Khagaria (Muffasil) P.S. Case No. 220 of 2001 registered under section 307 IPC and other allied sections of the Penal Code, is in custody in connection therewith. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody since 30.11.2007 and that other FIR named accused facing similar allegations have already been enlarged on bail. It appears that the petitioner had approached this Court vide Cr. Misc. No. 32706 of 2008, which was rejected vide order dated 11.8.2008 on the ground that he had been avoiding appearing in court and that he did not have a clean antecedent. The reason assigned by the learned counsel for the delay in the petitioner appearing in court, as contained in paragraph 9 of the petition, is of his living in Delhi and not being aware of the instant case, does appear to be plausible since he appears to be involved in other cases also. I find no reason to differ with the order dated 11.8.2008 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 32706 of 2008. The prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. Spd/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
