IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
Cr.Misc. No.4298 of 2011
Chhote Singh @ Kamlesh Kumar, Son of Late Jamun Singh, R/o-Vill.-
Bhergawan, P.S.-Gaurichak, District-Patna. -Petitioner.
VERSUS
The State of Bihar -Opposite Party.
-----------
02 10.02.2011 The petitioner is in custody since 24.09.2010 in relation
to Fatuha (Gaurichak) P.S. Case No.141 of 1999 instituted under
Section-302 IPC read with Arms Act.
It is alleged that several persons including petitioner
came into the house of the informant. One Subhash Singh fired killing
the daughter of the informant and thereafter the other including the
petitioner started indiscriminate firing and upon villagers assembled
ran away. The petitioner has been apprehended after 10 years though
charge sheeted much earlier.
In such circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain
this application even though several other co-accused have been
granted bail by this Court by various orders of the year 2010 and
thereafter.
Let the trial be expedited. The trial Court will take all
necessary steps to see that the trial would conclude within one year,
failing which the petitioner would be at liberty to move for an
application for bail again.
Accordingly, this application is disposed of.
Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
