No.19210 of 2009 MUNSHI SINGH SON OF LLATE YAMUNA PRASAD RESIDENT OF VILLAGE TETAHALI,P.S.BARHARIA,DISTT.SIWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR For the petitioner : Mr.Ajay Kumar Thakur, Advocate ----------- 4/ 27.8.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks bail in Barhaiya P.S.Case No. 36 of 2008 which has been registered for offence under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant’s son Manoj Mahto was a domestic help of the petitioner. In the night of 2nd May,2008 he was called by this petitioner and two others namely, Bacha Singh and Mankeshwar Singh who did not return and after two hours, the informant found his dead body in the house of the petitioner bearing a number of injuries. Submission is that in course of investigation, it has come that the deceased had developed illicit relationship with Pushpa Kumari, bhagani of the petitioner. So he was thrashed by the villagers. Pushpa has also received injuries on account of assault. It has also been submitted that in course of investigation, a number of witnesses have been examined by the Investigating Officer and they have stated that on the date and time of occurrence, there was a birthday party celebration at the residence of petitioner at Biharsharif, where the petitioner generally resides, he was present throughout the celebration. Considering the allegation that the petitioner and two others have committed the murder 2 and the dead body was found with injuries in the house of the petitioner and also that the other two accused persons have been refused bail by this Court, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
