IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16471 of 2009 NATHUNI SINGH YADAV @ NATHUNI YADAV @ NATHUNI SINGH, Son of Parshuram Singh, resident of Village- Sisaura, P.S. Nandganj, District-Ghazipur ---------------- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 05 04-03-2010 Heard Mr. Rana Vikram Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner, who is in custody since 8.8.2007 in connection with Durgawati P.S. Case No.79 of 2007, corresponding to Sessions Trial No.113 of 2008/31 of 2008 for the offences under Sections 302 , 120B and other allied Sections of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act, has prayed for grant of bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner while pressing the bail petition submits that even in the first information report the informant had firstly disclosed the names of four accused persons with specific allegation. Subsequently, the informant disclosed the name of this petitioner also alleging that this petitioner was carrying double barrel gun in his hand. He further submits that in this case nine witnesses have already been examined and except the informant none - 2 - has stated anything against this petitioner. On these grounds, he has prayed for grant of bail. Learned counsel for the State submits that the trial is at the fag end and, as such, it is not desirable to entertain the bail petition of this petitioner. In the present case, there was specific allegation against the accused persons, who chased the deceased while he was moving on motorcycle. The accused persons were in their Bolero Jeep and chased the deceased and thereafter he was killed. In the first information report, the name of the petitioner has also been mentioned. Since the trial is continuing and is at the fag end, I am not inclined to the grant the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.
