Mr.Anant Kumar 1 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAWNEET KUMAR PANDEY ORAL ORDER 20-03-2023 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

This is an application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner for the offences alleged under Sections 147, 148, 149, 342, 120B, 307, 302 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act, registered in connection with Beldaur P.S.Case No.178 of 2021.

As per allegation, in the night of 12.08.2021, when the informant was sleeping in his house, 20-25 accused persons in police uniform entered into his house. Co-accused Manoj Yadav fired shot at Dhananjay Singh, father of the informant. Co-accused Abhishek Kumar, Ranveer Singh and Indal Mandal also opened fire at the father of the informant. Similarly, there is

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.69779 of 2022(2) dt.20-03-2023 2/2 allegation on the FIR named accused persons to open fire on the injured persons, who succumbed to the injuries. The specific allegation against the petitioner is that he fired at Vijay Singh at his chest, who succumbed to the injuries.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there is similar allegation that other co-accused persons Dilchan Singh and Raushan Singh opened fire on the person of Dhananjay Singh and he died. He has submitted further that Dilchan Singh and Raushan Singh has been granted bail. He has also submitted that both the parties are agnates and the land dispute is there between the parties.

There is specific allegation that the petitioner killed the injured Vijay Singh by firing shot at his chest. The learned APP has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the petitioner opened fire at the chest of Vijay Singh and committed his murder.

In my view, it is not a fit case to grant the privilege of bail to the petitioner. It is accordingly rejected. (Nawneet Kumar Pandey, J) HR/- U T
