Petitioners are named in the first information report but admittedly, informant is not eye witness of the alleged occurrence.

Admittedly, the aforesaid Raj Karan Chauhan has already been granted privilege of bail by this court vide order dated 27.4.2012 passed in Cr. Misc. no. 13242/2012. It would further appear that Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.31583 of 2012 (2) dt.27-08-2012 except the so-called previous enmity between the petitioners and the deceased as well as confessional statement of co-accused Raj Karan Chauhan, there appears to be nothing against the petitioners. Accordingly, petitioners, Arun Chauhan and Biru Chauhan, are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nawada in Narhat (Sitamarhi) P.S.
