Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.85819 of 2024(2) dt.16-12-2024 2/3 based on concocted facts. He has no concern with co-accused Bittu Kumar and other accused persons. He has not transferred a single penny to co-accused Bittu Kumar and others for killing any person. There is enmity between the petitioner and one Arun Kumar regarding the matter of petrol pump, Masaurhi. As per agreement and compromise petition, neither Nitu Kumari nor her husband has given the agreed amount to the petitioner till date, therefore, 45% share of the ownership of the petrol pump has not been transferred to Nitu Kumari by the petitioner. Thereafter, only with a view to mount pressure upon the petitioner, his name has been transpired in the present case in collusion of the police.

It is further submitted that there is nothing on record to indicate the complicity of the petitioner barring the confessional statement of the apprehended person, namely, Bittu Kumar which has no evidentiary value in the eye of law. Learned counsel further submits that petitioner has one criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-3 of this application.

5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as the nature of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.
