IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3243 of 2010 KRISHNANDAN MAHTO @ FUCHO MAHTO SON OF LATE DHANIK MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 9.2.2010 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, 302, 452 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act as well as 17/18 of the C.L.A. Act. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner remained absconding for about six years, in which period the trial of the other co-accused commenced and, therefore, he contributed in delaying his trial, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. Narendra/ ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
