IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.275 of 2008 BALLI MANDAL & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5 13.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners are accused in a case under section 396 of the Penal Code. In the first information report two persons, namely, Pundeo Mahto and Bishu Mahto have been named. It is alleged that these two persons assaulted the informant’s husband as a result of which he died. The material that has transpired against these petitioners is that the named co-accused have disclosed the names of these two petitioners. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that they have been implicated in this case by co-accused persons because of some dispute over the fishery rights. It is also submitted that in fact nothing was stolen from the house of the informant and it is a case under section 302 of the Penal Code. The petitioners have remained in custody since 13.6.2007 and 19.6.2007 respectively. Considering the nature of the offence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners for the present. This bail petition is dismissed. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
