The petitioners apprehend their arrest in Chausa P.S. case No. 142 of 2017 under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The informant alleged that his wife, as usual, slept at veramdah inside the house and when he woke up in the next morning the informant found his wife dead. The informant did not name any person.
The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are not named in the FIR. There is no eye witness of the occurrence. One Siyaram Mandal confessed his guilt before the police and disclosed the name of the petitioners. Save and except confession the police did not collect any tangible material against the petitioners.

It appears that save and except confession of the Siyaram Mandal that he and others killed Karmi Devi, the deceased, on account of land dispute, by strangulating her, there is no other material to show the involvement of the petitioners in the murder of deceased.
Considering the facts aforesaid and the nature of allegation made against the petitioners, the petitioners, above named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned court below within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order are directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub divisional Judicial Magistrate, Udakishunganj, Madhepura in connection with Chausa P.S. case No.142 of 2017, subject to conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
