IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20577 of 2010 CHHATHU RAI & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 29.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned P.P. for the State. It would appear from FIR that petitioner nos. 2,3, 4,6, 7 and 8 set the informant and other houses on fire and so far petitioner no.1 is concerned, it is alleged that he instigated other accused to commit the said crime. So far as rest petitioners are concerned, neither there is allegation of setting of firing nor there allegation of calling caste name of the informant and others. Though there is allegation that all the petitioners assaulted the informant and others with various weapons but, admittedly, all the injuries received were simple. Considering the aforesaid circumstances, I do not think it proper to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to petitioner nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 namely, Chhathu Rai, Shyam Lal Rai, Jhagru Rai, Jain Rai, Shambhu Rai, Chandev Rai and Mangal Rai. Accordingly, their prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. In respect of other petitioners, it is ordered that the petitioner nos. 5. 9,10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 14 and 15, namely, Lal Dev Rai, Chandan Sah, Deeplal Rai, Satyadeo Rai, Birendra Rai, Sipahi Rai, Jiya Lal Rai, and Langtu Rai, in the event of arrest/ surrender within 30 days from the date of communication of the order be released on bail in connection with Pipra P.S.
