Mr.Lalan Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 04-06-2020 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

This application for regular bail arises out of Amas P.S. Case No. 298 of 2018, disclosing offence punishable under Section 302 and other allied Sections of the Indian Penal Code. On perusal of the case diary, it is evident that the persons involved in commission of offence have described in detail the manner of occurrence in their confessional statements. The petitioner is said to be the person who had shot at the deceased. It cannot be said that confessional statement is the only basis for the petitioner's implication. The police have analysed the details of various telephone/ mobile calls which support the involvement of the petitioner in commission of the offence. The petitioner has criminal antecedent, as can be seen

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.75506 of 2019(3) dt.04-06-2020 2/2 from paragraph 3 of the application. Criminal cases of serious nature have been registered against him. It further appears from the case diary that the petitioner was a member of a gang involved in organised crime.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that one co-accused Dhanuk Yadav in similar circumstance has been allowed regular bail.

Be that as it may, considering the gravity of the offence alleged and the material collected in course of investigation, as is evident from the case diary, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of regular bail for the present. This application is accordingly dismissed. The petitioner shall be at liberty to approach this Court after one year, if in the meanwhile, there is no substantial progress in the trial.
