IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31591 of 2009 PANKAJ KUMAR SINGH @ Balmukund Singh son of late Kameshwar Singh Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5. 16.12.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. In the first information report the sole eye witness had described the assailant of the deceased as `Papa` who had been recently released from jail to whom she identified from a photograph lying there. Unfortunately, the police did not seize the photograph but arrested the petitioner on the ground that he had recently been released from jail custody. Since the identification was based on two counts, one of which was not verified but another was verified by the Superintendent of Police, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. The petitioner is directed to receive the police paper immediately and thereafter the case will be committed to the court of sessions. On receipt of the record the trial court will expedite the proceedings so as to conclude the trial within a reasonable time. Md.S. (Anjana Prakash,J.) ,
