IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45877 of 2009 DHANESHWAR CHOUDHARY Versus The STATE OF BIHAR ----- 3/ 11.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Murder of Visho Devi reported without naming anyone for the first time. Cousin daughter-in-law of the deceased namely, Santolia appeared and made statement but casting suspicion on Brahmdeo Mukhiya due to his immoral act but her statement again was recorded to the effect that Neelam Devi had informed her about killing by this petitioner and his associates which is doubted on the ground that because of involvement of her own family member, Samtolia was pressurized by rest of the family members to make a different statement and then only Neelam Devi appeared as an eye witness watching the incident killing by this petitioner and his associates. Specifically, it is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that if really Neelam Devi was an eye witness, she should disclose it to the informant, who was none else than cousin father-in-law if may be a ground to doubt petitioner’s involvement can be considered in regular side only. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the prayer of the petitioner is rejected. However, petitioner is directed to surrender before the Court below and pray for regular bail. shail (Mandhata Singh, J.)
