Bhikhari Singh, son of Aklu Mahto @ Aklu Singh 5. Dukhi Singh, son of Late Ganesh Singh @ Ganesh Mahto 6. Doma Singh, son of late Laxram Singh All resident of village- Math Lohiyar, Bhagtahan Tola, P.S. Harsiddhi, District – East Champaran……………….. Petitioners Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR…. Opposite party ----------- 03/ 29.9.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, State and the Informant. Petitioners are accused in a case, which was initially registered for the offence under Section 307 and other allied Sections of the Indian Penal Code, in which later Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code was also inserted after the death of Budhan Sah, husband of the informant. From the First Information Report, it does not appear that Budhan Sah suffered any assault during the occurrence which only indicates that the two ladies, namely, wife of Budhan Sah and her daughter-in-law suffered injuries with iron rod and lathi and thereafter were removed to hospital where they were treated. Petitioners are in jail custody since 3/ 4.6.2008. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioners on bail at this stage. This application is, 2 accordingly, rejected with liberty to the petitioners to renew their prayer for bail after completing ten months in jail custody. Arjun/ (V.N. Sinha, J.)
