Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Section 307 and other allied Sections of the Penal Code and Section ¾ of the Explosive Substance Act which was registered as far back on 24.2.2003 and the present petition for grant of bail in the event of arrest has been filed on 18.3.2009 i.e., after about six years of the lodging of the First Information Report. In the circumstances, on the ground of delay, I am not inclined to entertain this application, which is rejected with direction to the petitioners to surrender in the court of the C.J.M., Araria in connection with Forbesganj P.S. Case No. 45 of 2003 and apply for regular bail which should be considered in accordance with law as also Annexure-3 to the bail petition. U.K. (V.N.Sinha,J)
