IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21577 of 2009 BRIJ RAVIDAS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 06.10.2009 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. Petitioner has been made accused in connection with Hilsa P.S. Case No. 163 of 2004 registered under Sections 147, 148, 148, 149, 379, 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Substance of the allegation against the petitioner and others is of surrounding the informant and others with weapons and firing on them and during the firing Mahanth Ji and Brahmdeo Das died but the informant somehow escaped. Though the case was instituted as on 18.07.2004 but the petitioner has surrendered in the case only on 30.3.2009 and had been absconding all these times. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. This application is rejected. Bibhash (Jyoti Saran, J. )
