IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40598 of 2009 BANARAS MAHATO & HARE RAM MAHATO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 7.1.2010. Heard. The prayer is for anticipatory bail in a case under Section 302 etc of the Penal Code. One of the daughters of accused Rameshwar Mahto had developed relationship and liking for the informant and so as to settling score on that account, the 17 accused persons are alleged to have come to the house of the informant on 18.6.2009 and to have dragged away the daughter of Rameshwar Mahto from the house of the informant. It is further alleged that they also dragged out the father of the informant from there and assaulted him badly and subsequently caused the disappearance of the dead body which was initially put in some lane of the village. The dead body was subsequently traced out by the informant and the FIR was lodged. Death was caused on account of assault. It is evidently clear from the rejection order passed by the learned Sessions Judge which indicates that two visible injuries were present on the dead body which was quite swollen and - 2 - over which maggots were running. The contention is that the allegations are non-specific, that the FIR was lodged after four days of the occurrence and that in spite of the 17 accused persons having assaulted the deceased only two injuries were found by the doctor. It is pointed out that it is a case under Section 302 of the Penal Code and participation in dragging the deceased after beating him from his house is indicated of all the accused persons, considering which, the prayer is dismissed.
