IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.2815 of 2011 Mantu Mandal Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 5 17-08-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the state. Petitioner is in jail custody since 28.07.2010 in a case initially registered under Section-307 & other minor sections of the Indian Penal Code but subsequently, section- 302 of the Indian Penal Code was also added. Allegedly, the petitioner and other accused put the informant in boiling water as a result of which, he sustained burn injuries on his whole body and subsequently, died in course of his treatment. The fardbeyan of the informant is amounting to his dying declaration. The injury report as well as postmortem report of the informant corroborates the allegation. Regard being had to the facts and circumstances of the case as well as submission of the parties, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Parbatta P.S. Case No. 35 of 2009 pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khagaria is hereby rejected.
