IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.30694 of 2011 Binod Mandal Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 3 21.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is named in the first information report and in course of investigation, witnesses have supported about the involvement of the petitioner in the alleged crime. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that so called eye witness has already been declared hostile during the trial. It is also contended by him that there is no eye witness of the alleged occurrence because the daughter of the informant stated in her statement recorded under section 164 of Cr.P.C.that when she reached near the place of occurrence, she saw her brother Ram Chandar Mandal sitting in injured condition in front of the house of Dodhai Mandal. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as keeping in mind the allegation levelled against the petitioner, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Kahalgaon P.S. Case No.296 of 2010 pending in the court of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhagalpur, is hereby rejected.
