IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.57489 of 2007 VED PRAKASH VIDYARTHI @ SONI SAO @ SONI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 16.5.2008. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under Sections 302,34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The allegation in the First Information Report is that some miscreants had entered the house of the informant and were looking for Sobhi Sinha. After some time it is said that Haider who is friend of Sobhi Sinha came and told the informant that Julia had cheated Sobhi Sinha and had shot him dead alongwith one Bhastu and Soni. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it is only on the basis of the statement of Haider that the petitioner had been made accused. It is also submitted that a suspicion has been raised by the members of the informant’s family against Haider. From the evidence that has come on record, it appears that Juli, Bhastu and this petitioner were responsible for occurrence. The petitioner is accused in three other cases although learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is on bail in other cases. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The bail application of the petitioner is rejected. U.K. (Sheema Ali Khan,J) - 2 -
