IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43170 of 2009 1. VIJAY PRATAP SINGH, S/O NAND KISHORE SINGH, R/O VILLAGE – RUPANCHHAP, P.S. – BARAULI, DISTRICT – GOPALGANJ (BIHAR) 2. AWADHESH SINGH, S/O JAI PRAKASH SINGH, R/O VILLAGE – RUPANCHHAP, P.S. – BARAULI, DISTRICT – GOPALGANJ (BIHAR) ………. Petitioners Versus STATE OF BIHAR ………. Opposite Party ----------- 3/ 17.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel the State. Litigants may never be allowed to take the law in their hands. In the case allegation was leveled against petitioners alongwith others about having active participation in the incident resulting in death of one person alongwith a counter case also for the offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code which is corroborated by the witnesses in course of investigation but later after lapse of six months some of the witnesses under Section 164 Cr.P.C. are examined. Exonerating these petitioners may never be appreciated for anyone without any occasion. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected. However, petitioners are directed to surrender in the court below and seek regular bail which shall be decided on its own merit. Praful ( Mandhata Singh, J. )
