IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21997 of 2009 1.RAQIB @ RAGIB, son of Abu Kashim, resident of Village Kolha, P.S.-Kadwa, District Katihar. 2.FAKIR RAI, son of Bonath Rai, resident of Village Kamreli, P.S. Kadwa, Distt. Katihar. ------Petitioners Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 27.10.2009 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The offence alleged against the petitioners, who have been made accused in Kadwa P.S. Case No.2/2009, is under sections 364, 365, 386, 379, 411, 504, 341, 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 25A/26 of the Arms Act. It is submitted that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. As a matter of fact, about a large number of villagers to the extent of 250 supporters of one Manoj Kumar Das, who was arrested, went to the Police Station to get him released and in that connection, the people were bent upon to thrash the informant. In fact, the two petitioners rescued the informant and took him away from there to prevent him from assault. The petitioners have no criminal antecedents. The learned APP appearing for the State on perusal of the case diary submits that materials have come against the petitioners that they forcibly took the service revolver of the informant and kept him in the house of petitioner no.2 under guard. The informant was recovered from the house of petitioner no.2 Fakir Rai when it was 2 raided. Considering the nature of the allegations and the seriousness of the offence as also the materials collected during investigation, I am not inclined to grant bail to these petitioners. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
