IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31183 of 2009 GORAKH CHAUHAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 15.09.2009 Heard both sides. Petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is contended that the allegation of firing, on the temple of the deceased, against one Kailash chauhan. It is next contended that, one another similarly placed co-accused has been granted bail by this Court. On perusal of the record, it appears that petitioner is named in the F.I.R. with certain allegation. The occurrence had taken place on 11.11.2000. Petitioner continued evaded arrest for about nine years. Petitioner is in custody since 15.6.2009. True it is, as per F.I.R. the petitioner is not the assailant and that one of the co-accuseds has been granted bail by this Court in the year, 2001 itself. But, considering the fact that he evaded arrest for a pretty long time did not submit to the jurisdiction of the Court, this Court for the present, is not inclined to admit him to bail. Prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. 2 Considering the submissions and the materials on record, this Court however, grants liberty to the petitioner to renew prayer for bail after five months, if in the meanwhile the trial of the case is not taken up.
