IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.52888 of 2008 DINANATH SINGH, Son of Late Ashre Singh, resident of village-Kurji Kothiya(Vikash Nagar), P.S.Digha, District-Patna. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 30.1.2009 Heard Sri Choudhary Prem Kumar Thakur, Advocate for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under Section 302 IPC and he is alleged to have stabbed to death his own son. The reason for stabbing was that the petitioner was always asking the deceased to pay money for him and he could not pay on account of which repeated stabbed blows were given. The contention was that the very allegation defies reason as to why a father would kill his son. The next contention was that the petitioner was not a criminal so as to be in habit of committing crimes. The third contention was that the petitioner is an old man and infirm person. In fact the age of the petitioner does not appear from the rejection order but he has made a statement in paragraph 12 of his petition that he was aged about 50 years. 50 years is no age, considering the Indian circumstances, to brand someone an old and infirm person. As regards the motive that is stated in the FIR and the act is specifically stated, considering which, the petition is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
