IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17971 of 2010 MANTU KUMAR JAISWAL, SON OF SRI RAM ISHWAR GUPTA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 21.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 302, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner is not named in the First Information Report but subsequently when co-accused Sunny Thakur was arrested on suspicion, he disclosed that the petitioner had actively participated in the planning of the murder and promised to pay 1,00,000/- rupees to each of them for execution. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the serious nature of the offence.
