Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.17109 of 2025(2) dt.11-04-2025 2/2 wrong as merely on suspicion, due to some differences found in Biometric verification when the petitioner was appearing in the physical test examination and so far as his confession in writing is concerned, the same was taken forcibly from him by the police which has no evidentiary value. It is further submitted that the petitioner is a young person and has been languishing in jail since 01.01.2025 having fair and clean antecedent.
