IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13286 of 2009 RAJESH SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 13.07.2009 Heard both sides. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under sections 302, 34 and 120B of Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. The occurrence had taken place in the night of 11/12.11.2004. Petitioner along with others are named in the F.I.R.. The petitioner has been apprehended and is in custody since 3.10.2007. Apart from the allegation contained in the F.I.R. and the materials collected in support thereof, it appears that he evaded arrest for nearly three years. There is definite allegation in the F.I.R. that he along with two others had taken the deceased on some plea and the next morning, his dead body was found. There is also motive alleged against the petitioner. Having regard to all these facts, this Court is not inclined to admit him to bail. His prayer for bail stands rejected. Learned counsel fairly submits that the case has now been committed to the Court of Sessions and the trial is likely to commence. In that view of the matter, this court observes that the Trial Court shall take all endeavour to conclude the trial at the earliest. The petitioner is, granted liberty to renew his prayer for bail after 10 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order in the court below if, in the meanwhile, all the prosecution witnesses are not examined. pkj ( Kishore K.
