JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 24-08-2016 Heard Mr. Kanhaiya Prasad Singh, learned senior counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Ram Sumiran Roy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No.3 of 2016 arising out Sathi P.S. Case No.159 of 2015 registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code as well as Section 27 of the Arms Act.

The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court vide order dated 14.12.2015 passed in Cr.Misc. No.55920 of 2015.

It is contended that there is no allegation against the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36486 of 2016 (2) dt.24-08-2016 2/2 petitioner that he fired causing injury to the deceased. He has submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 12.8.2015 and there is no likelihood of conclusion of the trial in near future. Learned counsel for the State has submitted that it is a case of multiple murder in which the accused persons came together with premeditated mind and opened fire causing death of the husband and the son of the informant. He has submitted that the petitioner is one of the active participants in the alleged offence.

Regard being had to the gravity of the offence, I see no reason to take a different view of the matter. Accordingly, the application for bail is rejected.
