IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32939 of 2010 UDAY KANT MANDAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 17.1.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Killing of informant’s son is reported to the Police suspecting co-accused Sanjay Kumar Choudhary. Petitioner’s name appeared in the case after six months of the incident when some of the witnesses examined in paragraphs 42 to 49 of the case diary is doubted on the ground that informant’s wife and his daughter-in-law (wife of the deceased) are naming co-accused Sanjay Kumar Choudhary and two unknown persons. Here the role of I.O. appears suspicious as both are examined only after examination of witnesses of paragraphs 42 to 49. There may be reason for delayed examination of witnesses not family members but once family member is examined at belated stage that only doubts the act of the I.O., that is to favour any of the accused. It is not the stage to doubt the statement of witnesses not from family members of the informant. Hence, prayer for anticipatory bail on behalf of petitioner is rejected. AI ( Mandhata Singh, J.)
