IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22801 of 2008 RAVI RAI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5. 9.9.2008 Heard. While celebrating the arrival of the Barat Party the petitioner is said to have fired shot from his rifle and the shot hit the father of the informant. The allegation is that there was some enmity between the informant and the present petitioner for some previous occurrence and the act was done intentionally. The contention is that the act was not intentional and it was merely celebration of the arrival of the Barat Party. Be that as it may and considering that there is support generally from the witnesses examined in the case diary that the petitioner fired a shot hitting the deceased and killing him, I am not presently inclined to direct release of the petitioner from custody. The petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge in the case. sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha,J )
