2. Md. Sarfuddin S/o Md. Shafi Saheb Both R/o village- Usas Deora, P.S. - Konch, District- Gaya .... .... Petitioners
Versus
1. The State of Bihar
2. Hasrat Bano, W/o Allauddin, D/o (Late) Md. Serajuddin, R/o Village Pali, P.S. Konch, District Gaya .... .... Opposite Parties =================================================== Appearance :
For the Petitioner : Mr. Syed Arshad Alam, Mr. Gautam Kumar Yadav Mr. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmad, Mrs. Anjum Praween, Mr. Tafazzual Ahmad, Advocates For the State : Mr. Raj Ballabh Singh, APP For the Informant : Mr. Sunil Kumar Yadav, Advocate =================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VIKASH JAIN ORAL ORDER 20-07-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State assisted by learned counsel for the informant.
2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest for the offences alleged under Section 307 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, registered in connection with Konch P.S. Case No. 259 of 2013.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the petitioners, being brothers-in-law of the informant (the opposite party no. 2), have been falsely implicated and this is the second attempt on her part to implicate them in a false case. As a matter
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.37699 of 2014 (3) dt.20-07-2016 2/3 of fact, the entire story as alleged by the prosecution that the petitioners along with the informant's husband pushed her from a moving bus, is highly improbable. The informant's husband had been granted bail by the 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Gaya, and it was in compliance of the Court's condition that he had been taking the informant along with him on the bus which the petitioners had also boarded, when the occurrence is alleged to have transpired. The husband of the informant has reiterated his willingness to keep her with due dignity and honour.
4. Learned APP assisted by learned counsel for the informant, on the other hand, opposes the petitioners' anticipatory bail petition submitting that the allegations in the FIR are self-speaking, and the petitioners along with the informant's husband had deliberately pushed her out of the moving bus thus resulting in injury to her. He refers to paragraph 10 of the case diary in which the statement of Guddi Rai who claims to be an eyewitness to the occurrence has been recorded. Reference is also made to the statement of Kripal Paswan who supports the prosecution case, which is recorded in paragraph 12 of the case diary. The injury report of the informant appears at paragraph 34 of the case diary, and discloses injuries on the shoulder and chest, as well as swelling in the head.
5. Having regard to the nature of accusations and the
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.37699 of 2014 (3) dt.20-07-2016 3/3 gravity of the alleged offence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. The bail petition stands dismissed. The provisional bail granted by order dated 03.04.2015 shall stand cancelled.
6. Before parting with this order, this Court must record its dismay at the manner in which Mr. Syed Arshad Alam appearing on behalf of the petitioners conducted himself during the hearing of the case. Apart from browbeating learned APP while he was attempting to place the case diary in course of his submissions, the overall attitude of Mr. Syed Arshad Alam towards the Court, particularly in his immediate retaliation upon the order of dismissal of the anticipatory bail petition being pronounced, was rather rude, impolite and unbecoming of a dignified member of the Bar. This Court however, considering his long standing at the Bar, refrains, from initiating proceedings against him at present, but he is surely warned to be careful in future. Let a copy of this order be handed over to learned counsel Mr. Syed Arshad Alam. (Vikash Jain, J) B.T/- U T
