IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12915 of 2008 BIKRAMA SAH @ BIKRAM SAH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 12.5.2008 The petitioner is in custody since 17.10.2007 in relation to Nautan (Jagdishpur) P.S. Case No. 234 of 2007 registered under Section 302 I.P.C. and Section ¾ of the Prevention of Witch Craft Act. It is alleged in the F.I.R. which is lodged on 15.10.2007 that on 12.10.2007 the deceased along with her sister while returning to their house were called and thereafter assaulted with bricks iron rods on the chest because of this the deceased was grievously injured and taken to hospital where she succumbed to her injury on 14.10.2007 and hence the F.I.R. lodged on 15.10.2007. Petitioner states that the whole prosecution story is concocted in as much as if petitioners are brutally assaulted the deceased causing grievous injuries on 12.10.2007 then a case ought to have been instituted there and then or on admission in hospital, but nothing like this was done. The case was instituted only after three days after she died and even the post mortem report does not show even a simple injury what to talk of grievous injury. All it shows the bruises. The petitioner and the informant’s father, are step brothers. In the facts and circumstances of this case, let the petitioner Bikrama Sah @ Bikram Sah be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bettiah in Nautan (Jagdishpur) P.S. Case No. 234/2007. Sanjay (Navaniti Pd. Singh, J.) 2
