(DB) 4159 of 2022 sl no.34 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Kaliganj Police Station Case No. 287 of 2021 dated 30.5.2021 under Sections 341/326/307/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under sections 25/27 of the Arms Act And In Re : Muktar Ahmed Shikari @ Muktar Sikari ........ petitioner Mr. S Das Mahapatra Md. A Islam Mr. S Mukherjee ...... for the petitioner Ms. Anasuya Sinha Mr. P K Mitra ...... for the State Petitioner is in custody for more than one year. He prays for bail.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits petitioner is not on the same footing with co-accuseds who have been enlarged on bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is the principal accused. He fired at a vital part of the victim's body. In view of the aforesaid incriminating circumstance, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
