IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.54362 of 2007 KRISHNA KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR with Cr.Misc. No.4495 of 2008 SHANKAR KUMAR SONI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 19.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioners are accused in a case under sections 302/34 of the Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms act. The prosecution case is that Renu Devi was returning home and when she was about ten yards from her house, three unknown boys surrounded her and it is said that Renu Devi was shot by one of them. During investigation witnesses have stated in paragraphs 13, 14, 15 and 16 of the case diary that the three boys were Shankar Kumar, Krishna Kumar, the two petitioners and one Sawant Kumar. One of the witness at para 16 of the case diary has stated that he heard Sawant Kumar saying that they should run away as he has shot Renu Devi. This witness also stated that they were trying to take something away from the person of Renu Devi which goes to suggest that the occurrence took place due to robbery. Considering the facts that as many as three witnesses have named the petitioners as being present at the place of occurrence and tried to rob a helpless lady, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners for the present. These bail petitions are dismissed. The petitioners may, however, renew their prayer for bail after six months. Haque (Sheema Ali Khan,J)
