IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29763 of 2008 RAMAKANT PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 24.9.2008 Heard. The allegation is that the petitioner and others reportedly had grabbed the land of the informant and had put on some flags in token for grabbing the land. Knowing about the incident, the informant and others reached there and they were assaulted. As regards the present petitioner Ramakant Paswan it is definitely, alleged against him that he assaulted one Mahendra Jha with the butts of rifle and pistol along with two other accused persons Santan Paswan and Kailash Paswan. The contention is that the petitioner has remained in custody for a year and that some other accused persons have been admitted to bail by another Bench of the Court. The further contention was that it could be a case of land dispute. I am at all not convinced about the defence of land dispute for the simple reason that grabbing somebody’s land and then setting up a defence of land dispute, could not be a bonafide case of land dispute. It appears a case in which taking law in their own hands and indulging in criminal activities by the accused, the bonafide proprietors of land appears thrown out of possession. Petition is dismissed.
