IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31757 of 2009 RAVI RAUSHAN @ REDDU @ RANI RAUSHAN, Son of Ravindra Prasad alias Laljee, resident of Mohalla Mungariganj, P.S. Nagar, Distt.-Begusarai. -----Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 5.11.2009 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The offence alleged against the petitioner, who is an accused in connection with Begusarai Town P.S. Case No.212/09, is under sections 302 and 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. It is submitted that the petitioner is not a named accused. However, he has been implicated in this case during the course of investigation on the confessional statement of the co- accused. It is further submitted that as a matter of fact, the petitioner had absolutely nothing to do with the alleged crime. Not only this, the petitioner remained with the informant all along every time and he even participated in the funeral. As such the petitioner cannot be held responsible in any manner in the alleged offence. It is further submitted that the alleged confession made by this petitioner cannot be acted upon as the petitioner was brutally assaulted by the police after his arrest. The learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the alleged crime is very serious in nature and two sons of the informant was murdered at his door 2 pursuant to a conspiracy hatched among the accused persons to kill the informant and his sons and the conspirators were assigned different duties to be discharged in giving effect to the conspiracy. The petitioner was also assigned the duty to inform the assailants about the movement of the informant and his sons and, as such, the petitioners on account of having enough materials collected during the course of investigation against him is not entitled to be enlarged on bail. Considering the nature of the allegations and the materials collected during the course of investigation, as pointed out by the learned A.P.P., I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. This application is, accordingly, rejected. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
