The petitioner faces prosecution for offence u/s 307 and other allied offences of the Indian Penal Code. Counsel for the petitioner, however, would submit that the nature of injury would not even make out a case u/s 307 I.P.C., inasmuch as all are simple injuries. Counsel for the informant, on the other hand, has submitted that the informant had sustained a head injury in the hands of the petitioner and that the petitioner is a veteran criminal having at least eight cases pending as against him. This Court would find that the petitioner stands named in the version of all the three injured persons including the informant and therefore, when he has also a chequored past of having a series of criminal cases pending against him he would 2 not be entitled for bail till he would complete one year of his judicial custody. The petitioner after completing one year of judicial custody may initially move the trial court which then would record the stage of the trial and if the trial for no laches on the part of the prosecution would not be disposed of the trial court itself will consider the prayer for bail on merits without being prejudiced by this order. On the other hand, if the end of the trial of the petitioner will be in sight the court below will ensure that the same also comes to an end within the aforementioned period. With the aforementioned observation, this application is dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
