IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42931 of 2010 BIPIN YADAV @ B.P.YADAV . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR . with Cr.Misc. No.7706 of 2011 JAY SHANKAR YADAV @ JAY SHANKAR PRASAD . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR . ----- 03. 06.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the state. Petitioners are included in eleven (11) accused persons alleged for abducting informant’s father, thereafter 3-4 round of firing was heard and on search dead body recovered. Charge sheet is submitted against three accused persons only including petitioner Bipin Yadav of Cr. Misc. No.42931 of 2010, but cognizance is taken against all the eleven accused persons. Undoubtedly informant has come forward to state abduction of his father in his presence that is corroborated by his mother and uncle, but told by the informant. Case of both the petitioners, if, can be differentiated is confession made by Bipin Yadav about involvement of three only may be for exonerating rest otherwise confession made before police is not admissible. Number of witnesses is not material even for conviction and in cases of Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code; custody for a year is also not relevant. Accordingly, petitioners’ prayer for regular bail stand rejected. Vikash (Mandhata Singh, J.)
