IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8438 of 2009 BRAHAMA GOPE @ VERMA SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 03.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. Petitioner is an accused in Daniyawa P. S. Case No. 27 of 2007 under sections 341, 323, 384 and 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Allegation against the petitioner is based on an information made by the Panchayat Samiti member namely, Lalita Devi where allegation is that while construction of boundary wall of a school is going on, the petitioner came armed with sophisticated weapon on a motorcycle, threatened the informant, assaulted the labourers and demanded a sum of Rs.50,000/- before she would be permitted to complete the development work in question. On perusal of the case diary it appears that there are large number of serious cases which have come to be lodged against the petitioner earlier, some of them though might have ended in acquittal but there are still some cases of which petitioner is an accused which does not convince the court that petitioner deserves to be treated with kid-glove. Looking at the seriousness of the allegation made by an elected representative of the Panchayat which is prima facie found to be true during investigation, the prayer for bail is rejected as of now. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
