IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5481 of 2008 1. INOD KUMAR 2. Uday Shankar Singh 3. Mostt. Raj Kumari Devi 4. Pushpa Devi 5. Soni Kumari 6. Manish Kumar 7. Anish Kumar @ Balamji Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Ram Prasad Singh ------ 2/ 25.03.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the opposite parties. In brief, allegation is about petitioners’ entering into the complainant’s house causing assault to inmates of the house and taking away of different articles, including box with ornaments, etc. Prosecution is based on the ground of previous enmity including filing of F.I.R. bearing Dulhin Bazar P.S. Case no. 171 of 2006 on behalf of the petitioners, but ‘enmity cuts both ways’ and at the stage of cognizance that cannot be taken to disbelieve the prosecution case. Another submission regarding non-examination of wife and mother, whose ornaments were stolen, is also not tenable. Even the evidence of a single reliable witness can be taken as sufficient to conviction, what about cognizance. Thus, I do not find any merit in the application. Accordingly, the same is rejected. shail (Mandhata Singh,J.)
