IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.6557 of 2011 TUKIYA MAHTO Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 23.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 342 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code. Considering that the petitioner also participated in assault on the deceased on account of which he died, I am not inclined to grant bail to petitioner at this stage. Prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge. It is made clear that the petitioner’s prayer for bail shall not be considered if his case is singly committed to the court of Sessions and he is singly charged. JA/- (Anjana Prakash,J.)
