IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20527 of 2010 MANOJ KUMAR @ MANOJ ROY s/o Radhey Rai @ Radhey Prasad Yadav, resident of village- Sekhopur, P.S. Barh, District- Patna. ….. Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR …….. Opp. Party ----------- 6 2.2.2011 The petitioner is in custody in relation to Sessions Trial no. 49 of 2009 arising out of Barh P.S.Case no. 267 of 2006 instituted under Section 302 IPC read with Arms Act. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the informant. The petitioner is alleged to be the main assailant, who fired the fatal shot in the case, which was instituted in the year 2006. There was another co accused, who as per FIR also fired but the fatal injury has not been attributed to him. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that subsequently another FIR was lodged in which it is alleged that two persons fired and it is not distinguishable as to who caused the death. First there cannot be two FIRs in relation to the same event. The second is only a further information. Be that as it may, the petitioner was ultimately arrested after two years and is in custody since 2008. This Court called for antecedent report of the petitioner . The order of the learned Sessions Judge clearly shows that the petitioner has criminal antecedent and has been absconding for a long time. In view of these, I am not inclined to entertain this 2 application. The prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. Let the trial be expedited. Singh ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
