BOTH RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-BASAHI, POLICE STATION-BAIKUNTHPUR, DISTRICT- GOPALGANJ. …..Petitioners. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …..Opposite Party. For the Petitioner : Mr. Raghvendra Kumar (Adv.) For the State : APP. ----------- 03/ 12.05.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel for the State. The petitioners’ prayer for bail was earlier rejected on 21.04.2009 in Cr. Misc. No. 3412 of 2009 considering the fact that the victim prior to his death has named these petitioners as his assailants and how the petitioner no.2 poured the kerosene oil and the petitioner no.1 ignited the match. After giving the statement the victim has died. Submission is that the petitioner no. 2 is a lady and they are in custody since 17.10.2008. A report regarding the stage of the case has been called for and from the report it appears that doctor and other witnesses have been examined and the case is pending for examination of the I.O. only and the court is taking steps for examination of the I.O. Considering the allegations and stage of 2 the case/trial, I am not inclined to grant bail to the above named petitioners. Accordingly, their prayer for bail is again rejected. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
