IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.648 of 2009 GAURAV KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR 2 13.4.2009 KHAN The petitioner who has been declared juvenile is an accused under sections 394, 302 and 120B of the Penal Code. The prosecution case in short is that three persons took the taxi on hire for going to Teghra. Later on it transpired that the Taxi driver was killed. In course of investigation, the witnesses have supported the prosecution case and have stated that the three culprits caused grievous injury to the driver Rajesh Kumar by giving him dagger blows resulting into his death. In fact, the petitioner had confessed his guilt that he gave 15 to 20 dagger blows to the driver Rajesh Kumar. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that co-accused Rajiv Kumar and Niraj Kumar have been allowed bail. He further submits that the petitioner is in custody since 2.9.2007. From perusal of the impugned order it appears that the learned Additional Sessions Judge while rejecting the prayer for bail of the petitioner has observed that if the petitioner is released on bail, there is every chance of his coming into association with known criminals. Having heard counsel for the parties, I do not think that it is a fit case in which the petitioner should be released on bail at this stage. The prayer for bail of the petitioner is accordingly rejected. (S.P.Singh,J) 2
