CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER
2 10-05-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 3 of 2016 arising out of Sathi P.S. Case No. 159 of 2015 registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 120-B of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.
Considering the fact that it is a case of multiple murder in which the involvement of the petitioner is found from the very inception, I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner. It is, accordingly, dismissed.
As the petitioner is in custody since 22.08.2015,
