Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.1232 of 2021(4) dt.16-07-2021 2/2 Allegation against the appellant is of commission of fire arm injury to the deceased. Appellant is in custody since 10.06.2020. Appellant has got criminal antecedents of serious cases mentioned in Para-3 of the bail petition. Considering the nature of allegation and consistent medical report, I am not inclined to enlarge the appellant on bail. Hence prayer is refused.

Accordingly this appeal stands dismissed.

Learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. The appellant would be at liberty to renew the prayer for bail, if the trial is not concluded within nine months. (Birendra Kumar, J) mantreshwar/- U T
