Versus

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ajay Kumar Sinha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Harendra Pd.(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 03-03-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Dumaria P.S.Case No.6 of 2012 registered for the offences punishable under sections 144, 147, 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 25(1-b)(a), 26, 35 of the Arms Act, 3, 4, 5 of the Explosive Substance Act and 17 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act.

It has been contended that the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. and his name transpired on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused. Several other co-accused, having more or less identical allegation, have already been granted bail by different Benches of this Court in different applications. The named accused Arbind Pal @ D.K. Jee has also been granted

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.51757 of 2014 (3) dt.03-03-2015 2/2 bail by a Bench of this Court vide order dated 12th August, 2013 passed in Cr.Misc. No. 26914 of 2013.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail. He has submitted that the other accused persons were granted bail after remaining in custody for about 18 months. So far as the petitioner is concerned, he has been in custody only for about 8 months.

Be that as it may, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected.

However, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after framing of charges. (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J) Pradeep/- U T
