                           CR. APP (DB) No.434 of 2008
                               SAMSUDDIN DEWAN
                                        Versus
                               THE STATE OF BIHAR
                                      -----------

3 4-7-2008 Heard learned amicus curiae for the appellant and learned

counsel for the State.

Appellant is the sole assailant of the deceased. Learned

amicus curiae has pleaded that bail should be granted to the appellant

as he has remained in custody for about seven year.

Appellant has been convicted as assailant of the deceased

and the stabbing was done without any provocation. In the facts of the

case we are not persuaded to grant bail to the appellant because it is

not clear whether reliable surety will be available to secure his

presence for the purpose of this appeal, we are not inclined to grant

bail to the appellant.
