IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19335 of 2008 CHHOTAN SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 10.7.2008. Heard the counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under Sections 147, 148, 149,342,302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner alongwith 18 others have been named in the First Information Report by the informant. It is alleged that all the accused persons named in the First Information Report and 50-55 unknown miscreants came variously armed with rilfle and gun in the village where a meeting was going on, took away six persons of the village and killed them. The petitioner has remained in custody since 5.2.2008. Considering the allegations and short period of custody of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The bail application of the petitioner is rejected. I must comment upon the manner in which the investigation has been conducted inasmuch six persons who were allegedly present the meeting have been killed and other persons who were present in the meeting have not been examined in this case. This matter may be brought to the notice of the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna. The office is to send this order by fax to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna.
