IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.50014 of 2008 RANJEET KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 27.3.2009 Heard Counsel for the petitioner and the Counsel for the State. Had there been only recovery of three cartridges from the petitioner, he having remained in custody for almost seven months, could have been released on bail, but then from the reading of the first information report it is clear that the petitioner was found to be a person also indulging in theft in a kirana shop and has been identified by at least five persons as recorded in the case diary. That being so, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner, namely, Ranjeet Kumar is rejected. The petitioner in view of the fact that he has no criminal antecedent may renew his prayer for bail after one year from today. Narendra/ ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J. )
