IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.645 of 2009 PAWAN KUMAR MANDAL, son of Nageshwar Prasad Mandal, resident of village – Patra, P.S. Dandkhora, District – Katihar. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 09.02.2009 Heard. The case is under section 307 etc. IPC and the petitioner is alleged to have given a dabia blow on the neck of the informant. The injury found by the doctor has been mentioned in the rejection order as incised wound measuring 6 x 9 cm. on postero-lateral neck up to right ear which was grievous in nature caused by sharp cut weapon. Defence is that in fact the informant had misbehaved with the sister of the petitioner. There had been some incident between the two sides and as such, a case was also lodged by the mother of the petitioner against the informant and others. In support of the defence, copy of the complaint petition as also copy of the treatment chart have also been annexed to the petition. If one could consider the FIR, the allegation is that the petitioner was hankering after the wife of the informant and had done some act earlier also for which there has been a panchaiti. As it appears, the complaint petition was filed some nine days after the incident. Regard being had to the serious nature of the incident, the court is not inclined to direct release of the petitioner at the present. Petition is dismissed. Anil/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
