IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23414 of 2009 RAMESH YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 30.07.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under section 307 IPC. The petitioner, as per allegation contained in the FIR, is the assailant. The allegation is that the son of the informant and the petitioner started quarrelling while both of them were in drunken condition. It is alleged that the petitioner took out a knife and inflicted knife injury in the abdomen of the victim. The doctor found corresponding injury in the abdomen of the victim which was found dangerous to life. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that going by the allegation, both the victim and the petitioner were in drunken state and, as such, it cannot be presumed that he in fact intended to cause death of the son of the informant. It is contended that the doctor advised the injured to get the injury x-rayed and produce the report, but the same was not done. It is next contended that he is in custody since 25.05.2009. In the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner to bail. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. The petitioner, however, may renew his prayer for bail after six months if in the meanwhile the case is not taken up. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
