IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44543 of 2010 SHASHI RAI S/O SACHET RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 16.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the state. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 147, 148, 149, 307 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. Supplementary affidavit filed today be kept on record. Considering that the petitioner kept absconding for about 8 years, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. However, the petitioner will be liberty to renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge. It is made clear that the petitioner’s case shall not be bifurcated for commitment or framing of charge to take benefit of the present order. Prayer for bail is rejected. The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. Fahad. ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
