According to the prosecution case, after receiving information that a criminal who is wanted in double murder case

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24661 of 2024(6) dt.20-09-2024 2/3 was seen going towards Diara with his associates, the police party reached at the alleged place, however, the miscreants started firing over the police party. It is further alleged that two persons were apprehended at the spot and from the possession apprehended persons huge quantity of fire-arms were recovered. 5.

Vide order dated 02.08.2024, a report was called for with regard to the stage of the trial and report dated 06.09.2024 of the learned trial Court reveals that all the prosecution witnesses have been examined and case is pending for the examination of defense witnesses.

6.

The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State on the other hand has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that from bare perusal of the FIR, it appears that there is specific allegation against the petitioner in the FIR. Apart from that, petitioner carries 28 cases other than the present of almost similar nature. 7.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as the report of the learned trial Court, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with Barauni (Chakiya) P.S. Case No. 382 of 2016, pending in the Court of learned Additional Session Judge-II, Begusarai. 8.

Prayer is refused.
