IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42324 of 2009 DEO-PUJAN YADAV, S/o Late Bagha Yadav, resident of village Nawada, P.S. Dulhin Bazar, District Patna Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 8.12.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The petitioner faces prosecution for offence u/s 302 I.P.C. and other allied offences as also section 27 of the Arms Act and section 17 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act with a specific version that he in company of 9-10 persons had not only forcibly taken out the deceased Rajendra Yadav from his house but had thereafter become party to his killing by way of indiscriminate firing of the member of the mob armed with the rifles and guns. Counsel for the petitioner would submit that the co-accused Unay Yadav has been granted bail by this Court by the order dated 23.7.2007 in Cr.Misc.No. 18621/2007 and to that extent he has also placed in reliance on the orders of other co-accused who also have been granted bail by this Court. This Court however would find that 2 the involvement of the petitioner in this case is writ large on the face of record not only because he was one of the members of the mob which had done away with the life of the deceased but it has also come in the case diary that the petitioner was having criminal antecedent and was a leader of a terrorist Organization, namely, Peoples Party. It is the aforesaid chequered history of the petitioner which would make his case distinguishable with the other co-accused Unay Yadav about whom in the order granting bail it is clearly recorded that he had no such criminal antecedent. That being so, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and his prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected with a direction to the trial court to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is expedited and concluded at an early date.
