IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.11597 of 2010 MAHENDRA SINGH son of late Rajpati Singh Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 15.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner’s earlier bail application was rejected by order dated 11.2.2010 passed in Cr. Misc. No.42726 of 2009, on account of wrong submission having been made in the petition about his criminal antecedents. Thereafter, fresh bail application has been filed explaining the antecedents of the petitioner. Allegation against the petitioner is that he demanded Rangdari from the informant and when he refused to do so the petitioner’s son and co-accused persons arrived at the scène, out of whom, Birendra Singh fired at the uncle of the informant which hit one Pappu Singh and one Dharmendra Singh fired which hit on the head of Uday Kumar. In view of the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the seriousness of the nature of offence. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
