IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.30478 of 2009 JASWANT @ JASSU @ SANT son of Sri Uday Shankar Singh Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 06.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under section 364-A of the Indian Penal Code. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner’s name transpired during investigation in the confessional statement of the co-accused, wherein, he has mentioned about the active participation of the present petitioner, 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 by taking stringent steps for appearance to the accused persons as well as witness.
