                                   SANTOSH KUMAR RAI
                                             Versus
                                   THE STATE OF BIHAR
                                           -----------

3 05-04-2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and

learned counsel for the State in respect of appellant’s

prayer for bail. Lower court records are available.

It has been submitted on behalf of the

appellant that the circumstances proved by the

prosecution were not sufficient for convicting the

appellant for the offence u/s 302 of the IPC. It has further

been submitted that the appellant is in custody since

three years.

On a careful consideration of the judgement

under appeal and the circumstances appearing in the

records, we are not persuaded to grant bail to the

appellant. The prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.
