The petitioner is an accused in a case under section 302/34 of the Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation of firing is against accused Brahil Mahto and Janak Mahto and the petitioner was shown to be a member of the mob. He further submits that the trail remained pending for about 17 years for non- appearance of the prosecution witnesses. The petitioner is in custody since 12.10.2009. In view of the fact that the petitioner remained at large for so many years, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. His prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after five months. (S.P.Singh,J) -----------
