Wazirganj O.P. Tankuppa, Distt-Gaya --- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR 2 01-05-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as also the learned A.P.P. for the State. Cr.Misc.No.9816 of 2009 filed by petitioner Ram Pravesh Paswan and Cr.Misc.No.11142 of 2009 filed by petitioner Charan Choudhary have been taken up together as they arise out of the same Wazirganj ( Tankupa) P.S. Case no.224 of 2008 registered under Section 394 I.P.C. and having been heard together are being disposed of by this common order. Petitioners of both the cases are not named in the F.I.R. nor have been put on T.I.Parade nor have any incriminating articles been recovered from their possession. It appears that petitioner ,Ram Pravesh Paswan, on being arrested on suspicion, is said to have confessed his guilt in connection therewith and also disclosed the name of Charan Choudhary as his accomplice. Self-exculpatory statement has no value in the eye of law. Apart from the confessional statement of petitioner Ram Pravesh Paswan there does not appear to be any other material on record to - 2 - implicate these petitioners in the crime. In the aforesaid circumstances, petitioners, namely, Ram Pravesh Paswan and Charan Chaudhary, are directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya , in connection with Wazirganj P.S.
