IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21049 of 2009 DAYANAND SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 07.08.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner, counsel for the informant and counsel for the State. Petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under diverse sections of the Indian Penal Code including Section 302 I.P.C. It is alleged that father-in-law of the informant was surrounded by five accused persons with weapons while he was sleeping on a cot outside of the house and by the assault of the accused persons he was done to death. Petitioner along with other accused persons are therefore named in the F.I.R. This occurrence had took place on 26th /27th April, 1996 at about 1.00 a.m., the investigation thereafter remained pending. It appears that subsequently investigation was handed over to Crime Investigation Department. Learned counsel draws attention of this Court to the averments made in paragraph 9 of the bail application and submits that case of the 2 petitioner stands on the same footing as is that of co-accused, Pramod Sing who has been granted bail under order dated 20.11.2007 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 45501 of 2007 (Annexure-3). Learned counsel for the informant made an attempt to differentiate the case but this Court finds that co-accused Pramod Singh was also allegedly possessing a fire arm as is the case of the petitioner. In the facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioner namely, Dayanand Singh be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of a sum of Rs. 10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai in connection with Begusarai Mufassil P.S.
