JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 14-10-2015 Learned counsel for the petitioners is permitted to make correction in paragraph-1 of the bail petition.

The petitioners seek bail in a case for the offences punishable under sections 302 and 120 (B)/34 of the I.P.C and section 27 of the Arms Act.
The deceased, brother of the informant, namely, Mithilesh Mandal was returning to his house after purchasing bamboo on the motorcycle and as soon as reached near Ghor Bathna Itmadi at guide embankment in front of field of Noori Mian the petitioners and other F.I.R. named accused persons
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.26964 of 2015 (3) dt.14-10-2015 2/3 stopped him and shot him causing his death. It is also alleged that earlier the accused persons have committed murder of two brothers of the informant under the conspiracy of accused Lukho Sharma.
Submission is of false implication due to previous enmity and suspicion. The informant is not an eye witness and in his further statement the informant has stated that the deceased was coming with one Prakash Ram on the motorcycle and in presence of Prakash Ram the occurrence took place and that Prakash Ram in paragraph 13 of the case diary has stated that two persons involved in the crime who have covered their faces and he did not identify any one. The petitioners are suffering in custody since 27.04.2015. They have got criminal antecedents but in most of the cases they have been acquitted. Charge sheet has already been submitted and there is no chance of tampering with the prosecution evidence. The confessional statement made before police has got no evidentiary value in the eye of law and as such the petitioners deserve sympathetic consideration. The learned A.P.P. opposes prayer for bail by submitting that the informant and the witness Anil Mandal in paragraph-10 of the case diary have stated the names of the petitioners and others, but it is true that they are not the eye
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.26964 of 2015 (3) dt.14-10-2015 3/3 witnesses and the eye witness of the occurrence has not identified any of the culprits.
