IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9592 of 2009 SHANKER RAM & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 20.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The case is under Sections 147, 148, 149, 353, 307, 302 and 216 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act and Section 17 of the CLA Act. It appears that on information that some extremists had assembled in the house of Ram Ayodhya Mahto, police raided the house, upon which firing started from inside the house resulting into death of one constable. Petitioner though not named in the First Information Report is said to have made confessional statement. From the case diary it appears that some evidence has come that petitioner was also one of the persons who were inside the house when the firing had been started on the police party. Considering the fact that the case is under Section 17 of the CLA Act and the accused persons are suspected extremists, this Court is not inclined to allow the petitioner to be released on bail 2 at this stage. However if the trial does not concluded within one year, petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. Shageer (J. N. Singh, J)
