IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26176 of 2008 BRAHM GOPE Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5 24.11.2008 Heard. Three accused persons are alleged to have fired at the deceased as a result of which he died. The post-mortem report is mentioned in Paragraph-66 of the Case diary which corroborates the manner of assault and participation of the three accused persons. The contention of the learned Senior counsel Smt.Anjana Prakash, is that the remaining two accused persons have been granted bail and this petitioner is in custody since November,2007. Further contention is that prospect could be that witnesses may not support the charges. The Court can not express any view that whether in future there will be no prospect for the witnesses in not supporting the charges. As regards the allegation and regard being had to the facts, I do not find any reason to admit the petitioner on bail and, accordingly, his bail application is dismissed at this stage. The court below is directed to list the case for hearing and expedite it so as to conclude the same within as shorter time as possible. SKBOSE (Dharnidhar Jha)
