IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.51922 of 2007 RAJKESHWAR RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4/ 16.9.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. About six months earlier, the informant’s father was killed by the petitioner and others and in that case he was in jail custody. On the date as soon as he was released and reached the village, the allegation is that he fired shot at the informant’s cousin Lalan Rai who died at the spot and Ramayan Rai also sustained injuries. Submission is that a number of witnesses including parents of the deceased have been examined and they have not named the petitioner as assailant. They have stated that the death was on account of accidental firing by the deceased itself. The allegation against the petitioner is quite serious. The murder took place on the date of release of the petitioner. Considering the allegation, presently I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the court below after examination of the informant in trial.
