IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
CR. APP (DB) No.1389 of 2007
Brahmanand Rai
Versus
State Of Bihar
-----------
7 11.7.2011 I.A.No. 1369 of 2011
The appellant is in custody having been convicted for
an offence under Section 364A read with Section 120B of the
Indian Penal Code and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for
life and to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000/-(five thousand). Earlier his
prayer for bail has twice been rejected by this Court. The prayer
for bail is being renewed on the ground that he has been in
custody for about five and a half year.
Be that as it may, we are not inclined to re-consider
the matter at this stage.
Let Registry ready the case and list for hearing
immediately.
In case the appeal is not heard and the appellant
completes six years in custody, he would be at liberty to renew
his prayer for bail before an appropriate bench.
I.A.No.1369 of 2011 stands disposed of.
