IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.23865 of 2011 Wazir Alam @ Wazir Ahmad, S/O-Immamuddin Khan Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 04 05.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State assisted by learned counsel for the informant. Petitioner is in jail custody since 17.07.2009 in a case registered under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act on the charges that he along with one Buchan Mian made indiscriminate firings causing death of two persons. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that, as a matter of fact, the present case has been lodged by the informant at the instance of one Manohar Bind who wanted to take possession of the ponds in question and furthermore, petitioner was also interested to take settlement of ponds in question and that is why the aforesaid Manohar Bind not only implicated the petitioner but also got eliminated the deceased persons who had taken the settlement of the ponds in question. The learned trial court has reported that out of sixteen prosecution witnesses only three prosecution witnesses have been examined. Considering the allegation levelled against the petitioner as well as facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 239 of 2009 arising out of 2 Goreakothi P.S. Case No. 32 of 2008 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge-I, Siwan is, hereby, rejected. However, learned trial court should expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude the same as early as possible. SHAHZAD ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
