IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.31515 of 2010 GORA @ BIRENDRA PASWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4/ 28.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner was refused bail by order dated 21.01.2010 vide Cr. Misc. No.996 of 2010 on the ground that the petitioner had confessed to have raped and thereafter done to death a young girl. Prayer for bail has been renewed on the ground that, in fact, it was not the petitioner, who had confessed but it was co- accused who confessed disclosing complicity of the petitioner in crime. Considering the said material as well as the fact that there are circumstances to suggest that the petitioner had also followed the deceased just before her death, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trail in view of the serious nature of the offence. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
