IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6788 of 2008 RITESH KUMAR @ MUKHIYA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 16/09/2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel representing the State and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant. The informant is an injured witness who has received injury on account of firing made by the brother of the petitioner Tutu. According to the allegation, the petitioner has fired which caused injury on the head of the Ram Naresh Sharma who fell down and succumbed to injuries. Others were also injured. The dispute was in connection with removal of Ritesh Kumar namely the petitioner from the post of Mukhiya. Submission is that the informant is a notorious criminal. The fact is otherwise which is clear from the Annexure-2. The petitioner has been framed on account of political rivalry. As a matter of fact the killing was by extremists in which the informant and his wife also received injury and taking the advantage of an unfortunate incident the petitioner has been framed. According to the allegation, the petitioner is the assailant. The informant has also received injury in the same transaction and he is the best witness to say about the occurrence. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
