1. Amresh Kumar @ Amresh Singh @ Amresh Kumar Singh Son of Sunil Singh, Resident of Village-Nandpur, P.S.-Surajgarha District-Lakhisarai .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mukesh Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Zainul Abedin ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 06-09-2017 Heard the parties.

This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Surajgarha P.S.Case No.60 of 2015 for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 342, 324, 326, 307, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected, vide order dated 9.1.2017 passed in Cr. Misc. No.50890 of 2016. Now second attempt has been made by the petitioner for grant of bail.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is allegation of indiscriminate firing but no injury was found on the person of the injured. It is further submitted that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.39089 of 2017 (3) dt.06-09-2017 2/2 deceased was a veteran criminal and he may be shot dead by some other person and he is in custody for more than one year. The case has not been committed to the court of session. Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides and in view of the fact that earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner had been rejected and the case has not been committed to the court of session, as such I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, however, considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody for more than a year, the learned court below is directed to expedite the commitment of the case and once the case has been committed to the court of session, he will try to expedite the trial of the petitioner and dispose of the case within a period of nine months. With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
