IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18512 of 2011 DEVENDRA YADAV @ DEVENDRA SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 15.6.2011 Heard. Prayer for anticipatory bail has been made by the petitioner in Daniawan P.S. Case no. 86 of 2010 under sections 364 and 302 etc. IPC. The case relates to forcibly taking away of Arun Kumar, the son of the informant by some of the accused persons to their house where the deceased was allegedly tied down and was beaten up. It is alleged against the present petitioner and four others that at the time of the deceased being taken away, they were standing outside the house of the informant and they were also speaking out to take the deceased and were also beating him up. The contention is that there is no overt act specifically alleged and that the whole incident is fabricated. The contention further is that the petitioner is innocent and does not bear any criminal antecedent. On perusal of the postmortem report (Annexure 2), what appears is that the deceased was beaten up so much so that his decomposed body was also found containing the injuries indicating heavy and serious assaults being administered to him. Besides, the deceased was asphyxiated to death. It is also a case of forcibly taking away the deceased from his house so as to assaulting him and thereafter killing him, 2 considering which I do not find any merit in the petition. It is dismissed.
