IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.32468 of 2008 1. CIDIO @ SAROJ KUMAR RAY, Son of Mushahru Rai. 2. Kishan @ Vikki, Son of Laxmi Rai 3. Sikandar @ Siko @ Siko Rai, Son of Ram Unday Rai @ Ram Udgar Rai. 4. Ohm Prakash Ray, Son of Ram Uday Ray @ Ram Jugar Rai 5. Onkar Ray, Son of Ramudgar Ray @ Udgar Ray Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 22.10.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The case is under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 325, 307 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code. From the FIR it appears that due to the love affair, marriage of one Sabita daughter of one Raja Ram Ray with one Rupesh Kumar could not be digested by the villagers. A Panchayati was proposed, but from the Panchayati itself both of them were dragged by the family members and were brutally assaulted and thrown into the river. The girl died due to the alleged assault by the family members. These petitioners happen to be relatives of the girl. The father of the girl was also made accused and he was put on trial in Sessions Trial No. 259 of 2007. However, it appears that by order dated 16.02.2008 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, FTC No. Ist, Begusarai he was acquitted. Besides, one accused has also been granted bail by this Court by order dated 4.06.2008 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 21255 of 2008. Apparently, whatever may have happened to the girl but nobody of the village is likely to support the prosecution case. The petitioners are in custody since June, 2008. - 2 - Consider the fact that the father of the girl has been acquitted by the trial court and another accused has been allowed bail by this Court as noticed above, this application is allowed. Let petitioners, namely, Cidio @ Saroj Kumar Ray, Kishan @ Vikki, Sikandar @ Siko @ Siko Rai, Ohm Prakash Ray and Onkar Ray are released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai in connection with Barauni P.S. Case No. 292 of 2006. Kundan (J. N. Singh, J.)
