IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40126 of 2009 ARUN MANDAL, S/o Late Anandi Mandal, resident of village Borwa, P.S. Parbatta, District Bhagalpur … Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 14.1.2010 Surendra/ Having heard counsel for the petitioner and the State this Court is of the opinion that Khanti blow allegedly given by the petitioner on the head of son of the informant having been corroborated by the injury report, his mere defence on the basis of a subsequent counter case, would not be good enough to reject altogether the direct and serious allegation of assault against him constituting offence under section 307 and other allied sections of the Indian Penal Code. The complaint case filed by the petitioner at best is his defence version which can be looked into and tested at the time of his trial. The further plea of the petitioner that the prosecution party was aggressor also cannot be decided at this stage. That being so, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is, hereby, rejected.
