IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36649 of 2008 SINTU KUMAR MANDAL @ SINTU MANDAL, Son of Sri Anandi Mandal, resident of Village Mungraura, P.S. East Colony, Jamalpur, District Munger ----Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 21.11.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with East Colony P.S. Case No.24/2008 for the offences under section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. The specific allegation against the petitioner is that a day earlier to the date of occurrence, the petitioner along with other co- accused threatened the husband of the informant that he will be killed on account of the land dispute and on the next day the husband of the informant was killed by pistol. The informant on reaching the place of occurrence inquired from the people there and they said that her husband was killed by the accused persons, including the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as a matter of fact, 2 the petitioner had purchased the land from the uncle of the husband of the informant. However, the same was objected by the deceased on account of the fact that since the said property was not partitioned, his uncle could not execute the sale deed. Learned counsel further submits that the brother of the petitioner Pankaj Mandal had earlier lodged an F.I.R. against the husband of the informant, as contained in Annexure 3. The learned APP appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that in view of the nature of allegations, the petitioner is not entitled to the privilege of anticipatory bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
