JUSTICE AMARESH KUMAR LAL ORAL ORDER 27-04-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is that the petitioner took the deceased from her house in the morning on the pretext of harvesting banana crop. Thereafter, she did not return and later on her dead body was found in a river.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no eye witness to the occurrence. The circumstantial evidence is too weak to connect the petitioner with the death of the deceased. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent. However, after investigation chargesheet has already been submitted and charges have been framed against the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State submits that there is evidence to show that the petitioner had taken the deceased from her house. It has also come to light that the petitioner had illicit relation with the deceased and there was also transaction of money between the deceased and the petitioner. There are strong circumtances against the petitioner.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.48440 of 2014 (4) dt.27-04-2015 2/2 Considering the facts and circumstances, in my opinion, the petitioner does not deserve bail. His prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.
