In the High Court of Judicature at Patna Cr. Misc. No.21472 of 2008 Mahboob Alam @ Sarpanch Mahboob Alam Vrs. The State of Bihar **** /3/ 17.07.2008 Heard the counsel for the petitioner, the State as well as the informant. 2. Petitioner is Sarpanch of Chandradai Panchayat. In a case registered for offences 302, 201 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, the informant has alleged that two persons, Maruf and Moharram, came to call her husband that Mukhiya and Sarphanch have asked him to come. Thereafter, her husband did not return. She made enquiry and finally dead body was found behind Araria College. Counsel for the petitioner submits that as per the allegation the husband of the informant left his house on 27.07.2006 and the first information report has been instituted after twenty days, on 18.08.2006. During investigation, not a single witness supported this fact that husband of the informant came at petitioner’s place and final form was submitted after investigation. On considering the protest, cognizance has been taken against the petitioner as well as other accused persons. 3. Counsel appearing for the informant submits that 2 an informatory petition was filed by the informant earlier.
