IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
Criminal Miscellaneous No.30247 of 2011
Mantun Kumar
Versus
The State Of Bihar
----------------------------------
02. 22.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as
well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the
State.
The case relates to the custodial death of
Ram Udit Singh, who had been brought in Hazat of
Cheria Bariarpur P.S. in connection with Cheria
Bariarpur P.S. Case No. 98 of 1999, but in the next
morning his dead body was found in Hazat.
In so far as the petitioner is concerned,
admittedly he was working as Home Guard in the
aforesaid Police Station at the relevant time and he
had also participated in apprehending the aforesaid
deceased and allegedly, he as well as other accused
assaulted the above stated deceased.
Taking into consideration the aforesaid
facts as well as this aspect of the matter that the
alleged occurrence took place in the year 1999,
whereas this petitioner could be remanded in this
case in the year 2011, I do not feel it proper to
release him on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail
in connection with Cheria Bariarpur P.S. Case No.
2
98 of 1999 is, hereby, rejected.
