IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.9978 of 2009 MOHAN SINGH, son of Indradeo Singh, Resident of village-Rampur, Police Station- Surajgarha, District- Lakhisarai. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 13.05.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. This is the second attempt on behalf of the petitioner for grant of bail in a case instituted under section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner’s prayer for bail was earlier rejected without considering the case diary. Now, case diary has come. During investigation, criminal antecedent of the deceased Gujja Singh has come and it is said that he was accused in fifteen cases. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the deceased was killed by some unknown persons and due to village politics the name of this petitioner has been given in the case. On perusal of the first information report, it appears that the informant and Ramanuj Singh, one of the accused, were on litigating terms over the election of Mukhiya as the wife of Ramanuj Singh was fighting the election of Mukhiya and the informant had filed a case against the wife of Ramanuj Singh. It is said that because of this reason the petitioner along with three others fired at Gujja Singh, who died subsequently. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. JA/- (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
