the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act.

The prosecution case is that the accused persons

altercated with one Ramjee Singh on a petty matter and thereafter

co-accused Indrajeet Rai is said to have assaulted him on the head

and when they were going for treatment, they were once again

waylaid by a mob. However, subsequently it was stated that it was

the petitioner, who had fired which hit Ghanshyam Singh.

The submission is that in the first information report

there is no mention of any specific overt-act against the petitioner

and from the facts of the case it does not appear to be a case

In view of such, let the petitioner above named, who is

in custody since 13.4.2010 and has no criminal antecedents, be

released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.5,000/- (Five

court about any change in the address of the petitioner, (ii) that the

affidavit shall clearly state that the petitioner is not an accused in

any other case and if he is he shall not be released on bail, (iii) that

the bailor shall also state on affidavit that he will inform the court

concerned if the petitioner is implicated in any other case of similar

nature after his release in the present case and thereafter the court

below will be at liberty to initiate the proceeding for cancellation of

bail on the ground of misuse and (iv) that the petitioner will give an

undertaking that he will receive the police papers on the given date

and be present on date fixed for charge and if he fails to do so on

two given dates and delays the trial in any manner, his bail will be

liable to be cancelled for reasons of misuse.
