For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Umesh Chandra Verma For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Jai Narain Thakur ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE BIRENDRA KUMAR ORAL ORDER 02-01-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

According to FIR, the informant claims to be an eye witness and alleges that the petitioner had given Chura blow to Munna Kumar at his chest as a result whereof Munna died. One more witness has supported the allegation before the police as an eye witness against the petitioner. However, other witnesses have stated that, in fact, Tahalu Sahani had given the Chura blow. Petitioner is in custody since 07.08.2017.

Considering the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail for the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.54175 of 2017 (3) dt.02-01-2018 2/2 present. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after completion of 15 months in custody, if the trial is not concluded.

The learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial.
