Case No. 241 of 2006, for the offence punishable under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution case, in brief, is that all the thirteen persons named in the F.I.R., including the petitioner, have killed Shambhu Prasad, son of informant, with butt of pistol and rifles. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that petitioner has been arrested, twice, by the same Police Station and remanded in judicial custody, but they did not remand the petitioner in the present case. On 16.01.2020, an application for production was filed in the learned Court below and on that basis, the petitioner has been remanded in the present case on

He further submits that there is general and omnibus allegation levelled against the petitioner. It is submitted on behalf of petitioner that no overt act has been attributed against him and similarly situated coaccused, namely, Kalicharan Mallah, Tuntun Mallah, Suresh Mallah, Binod Mallah and Sudama Yadav @ Sudam Yadav have been granted privilege of bail by this Court on 06.08.2007 passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 29238 of 2007, 21.06.2007 passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 26837 of 2007, 06.08.2007 passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 14438 of 2007, 19.01.2007 passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 51775 of 2006 and 02.12.2020 passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 27615 of 2020 have been enlarged on bail.
