IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.52903 of 2008 BACHA SINGH S/O-Late Ram Dhyan Singh, R/O-Vill-Sikandarpur, P.S.-G.B. Nagar, Distt.-Siwan. …………………………………………..Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ……………………………………..Opposite Party. WITH Cr.Misc. No.7662 of 2009 MANKESHWAR SINGH S/O-Yogendra Singh, R/O-Vill-Tetahali Purab Tola, P.S.-Barhariya, Distt.-Siwan. …………………………………………..Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ……………………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- 3/ 10.04.2009 Since both above these bail applications have arisen out of one occurrence i.e. Barhariya P.S. Case No. 36 of 2008, they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. The petitioners are named as accused in a case which has been registered under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant’s son Manoj Mahato was working as domestic help of Munshi Singh. At about 9.00 p.m. on 02.05.2008 while the informant’s son was trying to take rest then Munshi Singh, Mankeshwar Singh and Bacha Singh came and took him to their house. When the informant’s son did not return then the informant went to search and then the dead body of Manoj Mahto was found - 2 - in the house of Munshi Singh. The dead body was in the pool of blood. Submission is that the informant’s son has tried to outrage the modesty of Pushpa Kumari who happens to be the daughter of the petitioner Bacha Singh and so he was thrashed by the villagers and so he sustained injuries and died. This fact has been brought by filing a petition in the court. Pushpa Kumar has been examined under Section 164 Cr. P.C. and she has not given that version that the deceased has tried to outrage her modesty rather she has stated that the deceased was killed by some unknown culprits. The complaint petition is only a device to put further pressure upon the informant. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, their prayer for bail has been rejected. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
