IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12708 of 2008 KALIM SAI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 15.7.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under Section 307, 120(B), 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation in the First Information Report is that one Salim Sai took the deceased to his house and it is said that petitioner and one Jhunna Mansuri assaulted her with a lathi. It is further alleged that Sahana Begum set fire to her. During investigation it appears that the father, brother and sister and Mukhiya of the village has stated that the deceased set fire to herself out of anger after she was assaulted by this petitioner and Jhunna Mansuri. Eventually, the chargesheet was submitted under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is in custody since 7.2.2008. I find that the period of custody is too short and as such the bail application of the petitioner is rejected. Sanjay/ (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
