No.23289 of 2009 ARIF HUSSAIN @ SHIBBU son of Amzad Hussain, resident of village- Dharampur, Ward No.2, P.S.- Samastipur Town, (Muffasil) District- Samastipur. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 12.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The offence alleged is under sections 363, 366 & 372 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that the minor daughter of the informant aged about six years was alleged to have been kidnapped and later on she was found murdered, and as such the offence under section 302 I.P.C. was added. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that petitioner is not a named accused, however he has been implicated in this case during course of investigation on mere suspicion since the petitioner was alleged to have informed the informant that his daughter will be traced and asked him to come to a particular place. Learned counsel appearing for the informant submits that the involvement of the petitioner is very much as it has come during investigation that petitioner at many times had talk with the informant assuring him about the recovery of his daughter. It has also come that this petitioner was a very intimate to the co-accused Md. Rizwan and from the place of Md. Rizwan the daughter of the informant was found traceless. Petitioner is also confessed about his involvement in the alleged occurrence. Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State on perusal of the case diary submits that material has come against the petitioner with regard to his involvement in the alleged occurrence. Considering the nature of submissions and the seriousness of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him bail. His prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected.
