IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CRI.MISC.NO.19369 of 2010 Dhananjay Yadav Versus The State of Bihar 2 3.6.2010 KHAN Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under sections 149, 341, 302 and 307 of the Penal Code, section 27 of the Arms Act and section 17 of the C.L.A. Act. It is alleged by the informant that the petitioner has opened fire on his father as a result of which he fell down. Thereafter Sunil Yadav also fired upon him which hit on his head and succumbed to the injuries. It is further alleged that one Ramashray Yadav and Gora Yadav fired upon his brother Baleshwar Sharma as a result of which he too succumbed to the injuries. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that accused Gora Yadav, who is alleged to have fired at the chest of the deceased, had moved this court for grant of bail in Cr.Misc.No.36217 of 2008 and this court by order dated 17.12.2008 observed that if the trial of accused Gora Yadav did not conclude by 31.3.2009, he would be released on bail. It is thus evident that accused Gora Yadav has remained in custody for two years and eight months. The petitioner is in custody since 28.5.2008. In view of the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. His prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after eight months.
