JUSTICE ALOK KUMAR PANDEY ORAL ORDER 22-09-2022 Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to make necessary correction in para-1 of the petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sonepur P.S. Case No. 665 of 2021 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act.

As per prosecution case, allegation against the petitioner and co-accused Arvind Thakur is that they indiscriminately inflicted knife in the stomach of informant's son and during course of treatment the informant's son died. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody since 18.11.2021 and bears no criminal

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.21551 of 2022(3) dt.22-09-2022 2/2 antecedent. He further submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case.

The learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner submitting that there is specific allegation of inflicting knife indiscriminately in the stomach of informant's son against the petitioner and the same is corroborated by the postmortem report of deceased. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of allegation levelled against the petitioner coupled with postmortem report as well as material available on record, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. However, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible.
