For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Arun Kumar Jha, Adv. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Umanath Mishra, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 01-11-2018 The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Pipra P.S. Case No. 141 of 2016, registered for offences punishable under Sections 147, 149, 323, 324 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner is of assault by the edged portion of the spade causing injury to one Deo Krishna Mehta.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that though there is allegation against the petitioner is of assaulting the injured by spade, however, no sharp cutting injury was found rather the injury is said to have inflicted by hard and blunt substance and he has been in judicial custody since 06.05.2018. Learned counsel for the State as well as informant

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.51990 of 2018 (3) dt.01-11-2018 opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that the injury caused to the injured Deo Krishna Mehta was found to be grievous in nature. Having heard both sides, considering the aforementioned facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner on bail at this stage.

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.

However, since the petitioner has been in custody for last five months, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible.
