IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7807 of 2009 KATESHWAR MANJHI, S/o Late Ramdhani Manjhi, R/o Village – Chamuchak, P.S. – Pipra, Distt. – Patna…Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …………………….. Opposite Party. ----------- For the Petitioner:- Mr. Ajay Kumar Thakur, Advocate. For the State:- Mr. Ram Priya Sharan Singh, A.P.P. ****** 2. 18.03.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner’s prayer for grant of bail on earlier occasion had been rejected vide order dated 18.08.2008, passed in Cr. Misc. No. 33712 of 2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the ingredients of Section 302 I.P.C. are not made out as there was no motive assigned for the assault or there was no intention to kill the deceased and there is no repeated blow as only one injury is inflicted on the head of the deceased, as per the post mortem report, which has been brought on record as Annexure-3 to this application. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that there is direct allegation against the 2 petitioner for assaulting by lathi causing death of the deceased and there is no fresh ground for grant of bail to the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. Prayer for bail is rejected. However, the court below is directed to take all measures for expediting the trial at the earliest and conclude the same preferably within one year from today. dk ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J. )
