Singh and Ranjay Kumar Singh, Advocates For the State : Mr. U.S.P.Singh, APP ----------- 3 26.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is in custody and seeks bail in a case registered under sections 147, 148, 149, 452, 302, 380 and 324 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. As per the allegation set up in the first information report, the petitioner along with other four co-accused persons assaulted the deceased by farsa, due to which he died. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the allegation is general against five accused persons. However, there is also an allegation that some other co-accused persons had assaulted the deceased with lathi, but the post-mortem report does not show that there was any injury upon the person of the deceased caused by hard and blunt substance. It is also submitted that the petitioner surrendered in the court concerned on 15.07.2009, i.e. after 8-9 years, however, he 2 was remanded in this case on 29.09.2009. Learned counsel for the State submitted that there is direct allegation against the petitioner and other four co- accused persons, who assaulted the deceased with farsa and five incised injuries were found on the person of the deceased. That apart, it is also stated that the petitioner is named accused and the case was registered in 2000 itself, however, the petitioner had surrendered on 15.07.2009, i.e. after 8-9 years. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the allegation that the petitioner along with other four co-accused persons had assaulted the deceased with farsa causing death of the deceased, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. As a result, this application is dismissed at this stage. SC ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
