IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16344 of 2010 SUSHIL SINGH, S/ Sri Lallan Singh. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 18.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The prosecution case is that while brother of the informant was sitting outside shop the accused persons came on motorcycles and thereafter the petitioner and one Chandan Singh are said to have fired at the deceased due to which he died. The reason for the occurrence is that the brother of the deceased had been murdered by some persons in which the petitioner’s name had transpired eleven months after the occurrence but he had not been sent up by the police and the deceased was making pairvi against the fact of the petitioner not being sent up for which he was being repeatedly threatened by the accused persons. A number of witnesses supported the fact that it was the petitioner who also fired at the deceased which fact had been supported by them 2 even under Section 164 Cr.P.C. The submission is that in fact there were certain witnesses who contradicted the allegations against the petitioner and therefore the investigation was kept pending against him. Even in the trial of the earlier case only the father of the petitioner has been convicted and the petitioner was never put on trial in the said case. However, considering the nature of the allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it within a reasonable time. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
