IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.11298 of 2008 RAM ASHISH URAW & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 29.08.2008 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State. A lady was branded as a witch and thereafter hot sickles were blown on her body and not only that boiling water was also poured. Then she was taken to hospital where her statement was recorded which has resulted in a case under Section 307, 326 and allied Sections of the Indian Penal Code and 3/4 of the Witch Act. After making her statement the lady had died and Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code was added. Submission is that allegation against the petitioners is of giving hot sickles blow upon her person of the deceased but post- mortem report does not mention such injury. It appears that a lady has been apprehended as dian of witch and thereafter she was murdered. The role of the petitioner has also been alleged in that case, so I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly his prayer for bail is rejected presently. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
