Birendra Singh @ Birendra Prasad Singh 2. Surendra Singh 3. Amrendra Singh 4. Santosh Singh 5. Ganesh Singh 6. Shankar Singh @ Shushil 7. Kallu Singh @ Sunil .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 03/ 18-12-2012 Heard learned counsels for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under [STATUTE] . The accusation is of making assault with lathi, danda and axe to the father of the informant, who subsequently succumbed to the injuries. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the inquest was made at 8.15 A.M. on 09.06.2011 when the FIR was registered on the same day at 1.30 P.M. which clouds the whole prosecution case including the claim of the informant that he is an eye witness to the occurrence. Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.29528 of 2012 (3) dt.18-12-2012 Let the learned court below consider the regular bail of the petitioners, keeping in view of the fact that the investigation started prior to registration of the case, which clouds the prosecution version, if the petitioners surrender before the learned court below within a period of six weeks from today in connection with Hasanpur P.S. Case No. 55 of 2011 pending in the court of learned CJM, Samastipur. With the aforesaid observation, this application is disposed of. Let the order be transmitted to the learned court below through fax at the cost of the petitioners. DKS/ (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
