No.35793 of 2009 BHIKHARI YADAV, S/O LATE RAM LADDU YADAV, R/O VILL.- HASANPUR, P.S.- ARA MUFFASIL,DISTT.- BHOJPUR-- PETITIONER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ……………………….… OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- For the Petitioner:- Mr. Rajendra Nath Sinha, Advocate. For the State:- Mr. R.P.S. Singh, A.P.P. ---------- 3. 11.12.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that subsequent to lodgment of the first information report, a complaint case was also lodged before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhojpur with regard to involvement of the brother of the petitioner in killing of his mother. It is submitted that the petitioner had already given a representation to this effect before the Sarpanch of the Panchayat concerned which was signed by many persons of the village. Learned counsel for the State submitted that there is direct allegation against this petitioner of assaulting his mother for grabbing her property alone due to which she sustained injuries and, later on, she died. 2 Apart from the informant, sister of the informant and many other witnesses have also supported the occurrence during the course of investigation. Considering the gravity of the offence and the fact that there is direct allegation against this petitioner of assaulting his mother, due to which she subsequently died, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. As a result, this application is dismissed. dk ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J. )
