For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Dhurendra Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Dinesh Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE BIRENDRA KUMAR ORAL ORDER 30-03-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

The petitioner is in custody in connection with Govindganj (Malahi) P.S. Case No.281 of 2014, a case under Section 324/307/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Explosive Substance Act, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-I, East Champaran, Motihari.

Allegation against the petitioner is of hurling bomb at the gate of the informant with intent to commit murder. However, the informant and her mother escaped.

Submission is that petitioner is in custody since

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.9959 of 2018 (3) dt.30-03-2018 P2/ 01.8.2017. Investigation of the case is already complete and petitioner is ready to cooperate with the trial. Considering the criminal antecedents of the petitioner of serious nature as well as supporting the allegation by other witnesses, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail for the present. Hence, the prayer for bail is refused. However, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew the prayer for bail before the learned Court-below itself if the trial is not concluded within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
