Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Kaushal Kishor For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Ajay Kumar Jha ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 06-07-2017 Heard Mr. Shravan Kumar, learned Senior Advocate for the petitioner, learned Advocate for the State and learned Advocate for the Informant.

The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Katihar Town P.S.Case No. 164 of 2017 registered under Sections 302, 120-B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Regard being had to the gravity of the offence as also the fact that the informant has named the petitioner as one of the persons, who was seen fleeing away from the place of occurrence in which the father of the informant was killed, I am not inclined to grant him pre-arrest bail. Accordingly, the application for grant of pre-arrest bail is dismissed. (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J) Pradeep/- U T
