IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20741 of 2008 BAGHA MANJHI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 15.07.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Informant in her written report to Officer-in-Charge alleged that in the morning of 31st August, 2007, the petitioner gave Barchhi blow on the stomach of Suresh Manjhi. The case was registered under Section 307 I.P.C. but after death Section 302 I.P.C. was ordered to be added vide order dated 5.9.2007. Submission is that there is no corroboration of factum by any independent witness. The death is not in the hospital. The injured was not treated anywhere. The injured was a notorious criminal and he might have been assaulted and killed elsewhere. The petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. The petitioner is the sole person who has caused the injury. The death according to the post mortem report is on account of deep penetration in the abdomen by a sharp pointed instrument. Considering the direct allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. His prayer for bail is rejected. Mkr. (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J)
