IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1300 of 2011 AMRENDRA KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03 16.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is named in the first information report with allegation that he along with co-accused Sohawan Prasad @ Sohawan Mahto opened fire on the deceased and according to prosecution case, the aforesaid co-accused Sohawan Prasad @ Sohawan Mahto was nabbed by the villagers on the spot. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the independent witnesses have not supported the prosecution story and they have not disclosed the name of petitioner as assailant. It is further contended by him that, as a matter of fact, deceased was himself a veteran criminal and he was murdered by some unknown persons but on account of previous enmity, the informant has implicated the petitioner in this case. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the prayer submitting that the post-mortem report corroborates the prosecution story and having similar allegation the prayer for bail of co-accused Sohawan Prasad @ Sohawan Mahto has already been rejected by this Court vide order dated 06.01.2011 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 38840 of 2010. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in 2 connection with Masaurhi P.S. Case No. 123 of 2010, stands rejected. Shahzad (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J )
