IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.48432 of 2008 Alakh Yadav, son of Late Rameshwar Yadav, resident of Village- Alampur, P.S. Barh, District-Patna. …..Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar ……………………….Opposite Party. ----------- 3. 17. 02. 09. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, State and the informant. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Barh P.S. Case No. 182 of 2008, for offence under Sections 302, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant’s son Ajay Yadav is the victim of the present occurrence. According to the allegation, he was called by Dilip Yadav on 11. 7. 2008, for going to station. The informant’s son did not return. A dead body was found in Zenora field near the forest and informant suspected that it was the body of his son Ajay Yadav. It is further alleged that 25 days ago, a quarrel occurred between the families of the informant and Alakh Yadav. It is further alleged that the informant got information that Dilip Yadav, Jalo Yadav, Mahendra Yadav and Babalu Yadav fled away from their house after the occurrence. Submission is that there is no direct evidence at all. The entire allegation is based on suspicion. There is no explanation that the son of informant was traceless since 11. 7. 2008 and the F.I.R. has been lodged on 20. 7. 2008, i.e. after nine days of the occurrence. Such inordinate delay in lodging the F.I.R. shows the falsity of the prosecution version against the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State and informant opposed the - 2 - prayer for bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner namely, Alakh Yadav is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barh, Patna, in connection with Barh P.S. Case No. 182 of 2008. m.p. (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
