IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6695 of 2010 NAVNEET KUMAR TIWARI @ Navnit Tiwari , Son of Sita Ram Tiwari, resident of Village- Banuchhapar, P.S. Bettiah Muffasil, District –West Champaran ---------- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 25-02-2010 Heard Mr.Shiv Kumar Dwuvedy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Siyaram Sahi, learned counsel for the informant as well as learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is an accused in connection with Bettiah Town P.S. Case No.166 of 2009, corresponding to Sessions Trial No.550 of 2009 for the offences under Section 302,387,120(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner has prayed for grant of bail. The case relates to murder of two brothers and it was a case of demand of ransom also. The petitioner has been named as one of the assailants in the occurrence. Learned counsel for the petitioner while pressing for bail submitted that other co-accused persons having similar allegations have been granted bail and, as such, the petitioner is entitled to bail. - 2 - It is true that other accused persons having similar allegations have been grant bail by this Court. However, on the basis of materials available on the record, particularly the report regarding criminal antecedent of this petitioner, the case of the petitioner cannot be termed as similar to those who have been granted bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that so far the accused Raj Kumar is concerned, he was also having criminal antecedent and even then he was granted bail. Since this Court has noticed that the petitioner was involved in at least three cases relating to commission of serious offences coupled with the fact that in the present case there was allegation of firing against this petitioner in the occurrence in which two young boys were killed, I am not persuaded with the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and, accordingly, the prayer for bail of this petitioner, Navneet Kumar Tiwari @ Navnit Tiwari , is rejected.
