IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20775 of 2009 ASHOK PANDEY @ TUNTUN PANDEY Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 29.06.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under section 302 and other sections of IPC including section 27 of the Arms act. Looking to the FIR, it is apparent that the petitioner is the main assailant. The allegation is that he fired from a pistol on the chest of the brother of the informant. Counsel for the petitioner, with reference to annexure-2, tried to explain the injury sustained by the deceased. It is contended that there is a counter version as well. Having regard to the allegations and the materials collected in support thereof, this court is not inclined to admit the petitioner to bail. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. However, this Court observes that if the trial of the case is not taken up and important witnesses on behalf of the prosecution are not examined within one year, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. hr ( Kishore K.
