IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA G. APP. (DB) No.17 of 2008 THE STATE OF BIHAR Versus SHYAMDEO MANJHI & ANR ----------- 5 14.07.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the State of Bihar, the appellant, and the learned counsel for the Respondents and perused the Judgment of acquittal under appeal. From the discussions made in paragraph nos.17 and 18 of the Judgment, it is clear that the trial Court has considered all the relevant facts and rightly held that in absence of any explanation of long delay of about 12 days in lodging the case and on account of failure to examine the doctor and bring on record the postmortem report to establish the cause of death, it is not possible to convict the Respondents for the charge under Section-302 of the I.P.C. and other related offences. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we find no good ground to grant leave to appeal. Hence, this appeal is dismissed. ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J) ( Abhijit Sinha, J) NKS/-
