IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9365 of 2008 ARUN SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 06.05.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under Sections 448, 380 and 376/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that while the informant was sleeping with her sons on the roof the petitioner along with his two brothers came to her house in the night and they took her away and raped her one by one. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the father-in-law of the informant had sold 25 decimals of the land to the father of this petitioner. This disturbed the informant and thereafter she began to litigate with this petitioner. The informant filed a complaint case which is at Annexure-2 in which she has alleged that the petitioner was selling the said land in question which is the subject matter of the sale deed. The case was thoroughly investigated and after investigation it was found to be false. Thereafter, the informant has alleged that all the three brothers had come to her house and gang-raped. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that her family member and son and some neighbors were hearsay witnesses. It is submitted that due to the land dispute the petitioner and his brothers are being made accused in one case after the other, because they had purchased the land belonging to her father-in-law. It has also been submitted that the three brothers should be party to such an act is unbelievable.
