The petitioners seek bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302 and 379 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The prosecution case is that the brother of the informant was killed by some known persons mentioned in the First Information Report for reasons of land dispute. During investigation, it transpired that the co-accused Naresh Yadav mentioned in the First Information Report had probably got this occurrence committed through the petitioners. It also transpired during investigation that the petitioner Suresh Singh was in constant communication with petitioner Vikash Paswan who was at the spot and four persons namely Vikash, Upendra, Manoj and 2 Kamal fired at the deceased which is corroborated from the post-mortem examination report. Considering the nature of allegations, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the serious nature of the offence. The informant who is present before this Court undertakes that he will ensure smooth progress of the trial and will not seek unnecessary adjournments. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
