IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20793 of 2009 LAKHAN MANJHI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 05.08.2009 Heard both sides. Sole petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Section 302/34 of the Penal Code. Petitioner and other accused persons named therein came to the house of the deceased and took him along on some pretext. Subsequently his dead body was found. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits before this court and the records reveal that although the petitioner’s case is a good case for bail but one of the co- accuseds, namely, Munirak Manjhi, having similar allegation has already been refused bail by this court under order dated 16.02.2009. It appears from the impugned order that the trial of the case has already commenced. In these circumstances, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected. If there is undue delay in disposal of the trial, petitioner, of course, shall have liberty to renew prayer for bail. Sym/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
