The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Mansi P.S. Case No. 191 of 2014 registered for the offences punishable under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

Allegedly 12 accused persons including the petitioner surrounded the house of the informant and the petitioner shot the wife of the informant causing her death.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.40716 of 2015 (3) dt.01-12-2015 2/2 registered. Other co-accused Bablu Singh and Subhash Singh have already been allowed bail vide order dated 10.04.2015 passed in Criminal Misc. No. 8343 of 2015 with Criminal Misc. No. 9397 of 2015 and, as such, the petitioner suffering in custody since 25.02.2015, deserves sympathetic consideration. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer of bail by submitting that the petitioner is the assailant. In the facts and circumstances stated above, considering that the petitioner is the assailant, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and, as such, prayer stands rejected.
