Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner : Mr. P. Kumar Singh, Adv. For the Opposite Party : Smt. Pushpa Sinha, A.P.P. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER 3 07-02-2012 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Belsand P.S. Case No. 102 of 2010 for the offences punishable under [STATUTE] . It is alleged that whereas the son of the informant visited the house of his in-laws on the request being made by his wife on 17.09.2010, the dead body was found on 30.09.2010 in a Sugarcane field. The involvement of this petitioner as a father-in-law is thus on suspicion. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it has come during the investigation that as the deceased was a drunkard and hence he used to prefer sleeping at other places and did not return to the house of the in-laws in the night. Learned counsel further contends that the petitioner being the father in law, the involvement of the petitioner in absence of any circumstances connecting him with the alleged offence on mere suspicion, is inherently improbable. Regard being had to the submissions of learned counsel, let the Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.33679 of 2011 (3) dt.07-02-2012 petitioner namely, Raghunath Paswan be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sitamarhi in connection with Belsand P.S.
