Mr.Nityanand, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 19-07-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State through virtual court proceedings. Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to remove the defects as pointed out by the office within four weeks of normal functioning of the court, failing which the office is directed to place the matter before the Bench.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.15124 of 2021(2) dt.19-07-2021 2/3 demanded Rs.2,00,000/- at present and Rs.10,000/- per month as Rangdari, otherwise he will be killed. Further prosecution case is that the petitioner fired upon the informant from his firearms thrice with intent to kill him, but fortunately did not hit him. On hearing the sound of firing, the nearby people assembled there and then, the petitioner fled away. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that there is allegation against the petitioner is that who fired upon the deceased but no any firearm injury was found. The petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 29.09.2020. The petitioner has got 10 criminal antecedents which is mentioned in para 3 of the bail petition. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that the petitioner had fired upon the informant with intention to kill him.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected in connection with Madhepura P.S. Case No. 22/2020 from the Court of learned C.J.M., Madhepura.

Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
