IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21151 of 2009 Sudhir Singh, son of late Saryug Singh, Resident of village Pachmahlla (Lakshmipur) P.S. Pandarak Distt. Patna Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 09.09.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner’s earlier attempt for grant of bail was withdrawn under orders dated 29.5.2008 and thereafter under orders dated 24.9.2008, Annexure-1, the learned A.C.J.M., Barh was directed to enquire into the matter whether petitioner is the named accused as his father’s name was not indicated in the First Information Report. In compliance of such direction, the A.C.J.M., Barh enquired into the matter and from his order dated 21.4.2009, Annexure-3, it appears that it is the petitioner, who has been named in the First Information Report and is alleged to have assaulted the deceased along with three others named in the First Information Report as also two unknown. Out of the three named in the First Information Report, two are still absconding. Petitioner is in jail custody for about one and half years. In the circumstance, at this stage, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail. This application is, accordingly, rejected with liberty to the petitioner to renew his prayer for bail after completing two and half years in jail custody. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
