Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.66239 of 2024(2) dt.06-12-2024 2/3 to the alleged place of occurrence, where the petitioner and his other accomplice were present. It is further alleged that an altercation had taken place amongst the parties and then the petitioner had taken out a pistol from his waist and fired gun shots on the son of the informant namely Dibesh Kumar, resulting in his death.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is languishing in custody since 10.01.2022, hence a sympathetic view be taken and the petitioner be granted bail.
5. Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and has submitted that in the earlier order of this Court dated 04.01.2023, the entire aspect of the matter has been considered, wherein it has been prima facie observed that the materials available on record show that the son of the informant has been killed by the petitioner, who had fired gun shots on him, hence no sympathetic view should be taken by this Court, in the present case.
6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and taking into account the materials available on record, this Court finds that there is no change in circumstance so as to warrant reconsideration of the prayer of the petitioner for grant

No.66239 of 2024(2) dt.06-12-2024 3/3 of regular bail, specially in view of the fact that the petitioner is prima facie involved in killing the son of the informant, hence I do not find any merit in the present petition, thus the present petition stands dismissed, being bereft of any merit.
