IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.51674 of 2008 SANTOSH KUMAR RAI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 31.3.2009 Heard Counsel for the petitioner and the Counsel for the State. In the opinion of this Court, when a confessional statement of a co-accused has led to certain recovery of incriminating material from the conscious possession of the petitioner it can not be said that his involvement in the commission of the offence is based merely on the confession of a co-accused. There being in fact sufficient corroboration in course of investigation as with regard to the involvement of the petitioner in an offence under Section 302 I.P.C., this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner, namely, Santosh Kumar Rai is rejected. Narendra/ ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J. )
