IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16455 of 2010 MANOJ RAI, SON OF MAHENDRA ROY Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 13.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 201 and 379 of the Indian Penal Code. Considering that the petitioner remained absconding for last seven years, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge. It is made clear that the petitioner’s case shall not be bifurcated with the rest of the accused persons for purposes of framing of charge. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
