IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17885 of 2008 SUJEET KUMAR PATHAK @ GUDDU Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 29.7.2008 Heard. The case is under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and the allegation is that the petitioner firstly took away the brother of the informant and could not initially disclose as to where he had gone in the company of the brother of the informant. After much persuasion and investigation by the villagers and the informant, the petitioner gave in detail the manner in which the deceased was done to death and where the dead body could be found. The informant reached the police station and lodged the report and thereafter the petitioner was questioned by the police and his statement in para-7 led to recovery of the dead body. The doctor’s report holding the post mortem examination, which is copied at para-73 of the case diary, described the injuries which could be caused by a weapon which was, as per statement of the petitioner utilized for causing the death. Regard being had to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to direct release of the petitioner from custody. The petition is dismissed. sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha, J )
