IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36879 of 2009 BIRENDRA MANDAL @ SIKANDAR MANDAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 15.10.2009 Heard both sides. Sole petitioner seeks regular bail in a case instituted under Section 302 of the Penal Code in relation to an occurrence that had taken place on 25.07.2008. The informant initially lodged a U.D.Case on 26.07.2008, wherein he is said to have stated that his son died due to drowning while he was travelling on a boat. Therefore, there is no allegation as such against any one including the petitioner. Two months later, on 29.08.2008, a complaint is said to have been lodged by the informant stating therein that he suspects the hands of the petitioner and some other co-accused who used to cross the river on the same boat, accordingly, F.I.R. was lodged. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that apart from the suspicion, there is nothing specific against the petitioner in the belated F.I.R. lodged on the strength of the complaint which again was lodged belatedly after two months. Learned counsel for the petitioner next submits that one other co-accused, namely, Baijnath Mandal who stands on somewhat identical footings approached this Court for grant of bail in Cr. Misc. No. 12951 of 2009. The Court under order dated 22.05.2009, released him on bail. Certified copy of the said 2 order has been handed in which is placed on record mark X. In the facts and circumstances of the case, petitioner named above, is also directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- ( ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the C.J.M.Katihar in connection with Amdabad P.S. Case no. 89 of 2008, subject to the condition that one of the bailors should be the own/close family member of the petitioner. Sym/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
