IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1287 of 2009 NAWAL KISHORE SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 22.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Additional Public Prosecutor submits that except the confessional statement, there is nothing on record to substantiate the allegation that the petitioner had assembled with others after having made preparations for committing dacoity. It is too well known to be pointed out that confessional statement, not being admissible evidence, could not be the basis for framing of charges. Those could be used, at best, for raising a suspicion against a person and the person could be arrested. Except the above, there could be no better use of confessional statement. There being no material except confessional statement, framing of charges against the petitioner for committing the offence under sections 399 and 402 of IPC appears completely an abuse of the process of the court and, as such, proceedings against the petitioner in S.T. No. 859 of 2007 pending in the court of F.T.C. I, Motihari, East Champaran is quashed. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
