IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8565 of 2009 PANCHAM CHAUDHARY S/o late Lalbabu Chaudhary, resident of Mohalla Rastriyeganj PS Phulwarisharif Distt. Patna Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 08-05-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the informant. Although petitioner is not alleged to be shooter of the deceased but he has been denied bail mainly because he absconded since the date of occurrence, i.e., 21-5-02 till he was arrested on 29- 12-08 although he was named in the FIR as one of the members of the unlawful assembly which had surrounded the deceased. In view of earlier conduct of the petitioner, his prayer for bail is rejected for the present. It is expected that petitioner will cooperate in his trial which has been separated after conviction of co- accused Anil Choudhary. If the trial cannot be completed within a period of six months for no fault of the petitioner then, if so advised, he may renew his prayer for bail. BKS/ (Shiva Kirti Singh,J.)
