2 11-04-2023Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
As per the complaint, on the alleged date and time of occurrence, when husband of the complainant went to attend call of nature, on the way, all the petitioners assaulted the husband of complainant and drown him in the water, due to which he died. It is further alleged that on 17.11.2016 all the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.63954 of 2022(2) dt.11-04-2023 2/3 accused persons in drunken condition were scuffling and revealed that they committed murder of husband of complainant.
It is submitted that petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case due to previous enmity. During course of investigation, it has come that cause of death is due to drowning. Moreover, FIR has been lodged after inordinate delay of two months without any plausible explanation.

Petitioners have got clean antecedents except petitioner no. 5.
Considering the facts aforesaid, the petitioners above- named, in the event of their arrest/surrender before the court below within a period of six 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) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate I, Nawada in connection with Sirdala P.S.
