IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21265 of 2009 RAM BALAK YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 07.08.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under section 302/34 of IPC including section 27 of the Arms Act. The FIR is against unknown. The allegation is that 12 accused persons surrounded the victim and indiscriminately fired at them leading to their death. It appears that the occurrence took place on 14.01.2006. The petitioner is in custody since 09.02.2009. The impugned order reflects that in coursed of investigation, several witnesses have supported the prosecution case and involvement of the petitioner in crime. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that two of the similarly placed co-accuseds were separately tried and acquitted by a judgment and order dated 24.01.2008. Having regard to the allegations and materials available on records, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner to bail. His prayer for bail is, therefore, rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after seven months, if in the meanwhile, the trial of the case is not taken up and all the prosecution witnesses are not examined in the case. hr ( Kishore K.
