Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.29707 of 2026(2) dt.04-05-2026 2/3 investigation against the petitioner to suggest the involvement of the petitioner in the present occurrence. It appears from the F.I.R. itself that the date of occurrence as alleged in the FIR is 23.09.2025 but the present FIR has been instituted on 06.12.2025 after delay of two and half months. Although the petitioner has confessed his guilt before the police in the present occurrence but the confessional statement of the co-accused before the police is no evidentiary value in the eye of law and the police, after investigation, submitted the charge sheet against the petitioner and the petitioner is in custody since 07.12.2025.
