IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39970 of 2010 PRADEEP MANDAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR --------------- 3. 24.11.2010. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Sessions Trial No.873 of 2009 arising from Chandan P.S.Case No.44 of 2009 for offence punishable under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. This is the second attempt on the part of the petitioner. His earlier bail application was rejected by this Court vide order dated 15.6.2010 passed in Cr.Misc.No.19722 of 2010. The petitioner is charged of assaulting the husband of the informant by means of dagger on his chest leading to his death. It is in this back ground that the prayer of bail of the petitioner was rejected. Learned counsel submits that during the course of trial, the person named by the informant as being the eye witness to the occurrence, has turned hostile. I find no reason to differ with my earlier 2 opinion. The prayer is rejected. The application stands dismissed. ahk (Jyoti Saran, J)
