Mr.Madan Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAWNEET KUMAR PANDEY ORAL ORDER 06-04-2023 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner is seeking regular bail in connection with Kasim Bazar P.S. Case No. 145 of 2022, registered for offence punishable under sections 302 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code, section 27 of the Arms Act and sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

The petitioner is son-in-law of the informant Poonam Kumari Gupta. On 01.06.2022 at about 11:30 A.M., the petitioner came to their house. He fired shot at the son of the informant, namely, Krishna Kumar Gupta, who became injured. When the husband of the informant came to rescue his son, the petitioner opened 2-3 fire shot on him. Thereafter, the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.2267 of 2023(2) dt.06-04-2023 2/2 petitioner fled away by his bike. Both the injured were shifted to hospital and husband of the informant died during course of treatment.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he is a Constable posted at Jamui. As a matter of fact, the prosecution side were not allowing his wife to proceed her matrimonial house. He came to the house of the informant to bring back his wife, to which they didn't allow and falsely implicated him in this case. On the other hand, the learned APP has opposed the prayer for bail.

There is allegation on the petitioner that he committed murder of his father-in-law by firing shot and also made injured his brother-in-law by opening fire. He doesn't deserve the privilege for bail, which is hereby rejected. (Nawneet Kumar Pandey, J) niku/mahesh/- U T
