IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.29616 of 2011 Aslam son of Ied Mohammad, Resident of village- Faizalpur, P.S.- Chapra, District- Chapra …Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar …OP ---------------------------------- 3/ 15.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 307 and other allied sections of the Indian Penal Code, sections 25(1-B)A, 26, 27, 35 of the Arms Act, ¾ of the Explosives Substance Act and section 17 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act. On 13.03.2011, the police received information that a group of Maoists were camping at village Dharmaha Tola Kasba and were likely to commit some offence. On this information, the police reached in which cross-firing took place in which four Maoists were shot dead and ten persons were arrested at the spot. The petitioner was one of them. It has been submitted that no arms were recovered from the possession of the petitioner nor does he have criminal antecedents. However, considering that the petitioner was arrested at the spot and he belongs to Chapra while this occurrence took place in East Champaran, I am not inclined to grant bail to petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. The petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge provided his case is not bifurcated for the purpose of charge. JA/- (Anjana Prakash,J.)
