                                            Asraf Alam
                                               Versus
                                        The State Of Bihar
                                              -------

03 25.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as

learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Although petitioner is in jail custody since 26.4.2011

in a case registered under sections 341, 323, 324, 326, 307 and

504/34 of the Indian Penal Code but taking into consideration

that there is specific allegation against the petitioner that he set

the informant on fire, I am not inclined to release the petitioner

on bail.

Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in

connection with Srinagar Pujaha P.S. Case no.09/2011 pending

in the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bettiah, West

Champaran is, hereby, rejected.
