ORAL ORDER
2 16-04-2025
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned
Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.
2. The petitioners apprehend arrest in connection with
Kharagpur PS Case No. 200 of 2024 dated 14-06-2024,
instituted under Sections 341,323, 325, 354(kha), 504, 427, 379
and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The prosecution case, in short, is that on
01.06.2024, the petitioners Pintu Singh and Rishal Singh, along
with co-accused Mahindra Singh, Gautam Singh, and others,
came to the house of the informant, Rinku Kumari, and abused
and assaulted her father and family members. This led to the
lodging of Kharagpur P.S. Case No. 183/2024. Subsequently, on
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 18917 of 2025(2) dt.16-04-2025
2/4
04.06.2024, the same accused persons, armed with iron rods and
a country-made pistol, forcefully entered into the informant’s
house. Infuriated by the lodging of the F.I.R. by the informant’s
father, the accused persons misbehaved with the informant.
When she protested, co-accused Sintu Singh assaulted her on
the thigh with an iron rod and further hit her with an iron katta
on her left wrist, resulting in bleeding that started oozing out
from her wrist. The accused persons then allegedly beat her
severely, attempted to disrobe her, and destroyed household
items including an almirah, laptop, scooty, and motor of her
house. They also allegedly stole cash of Rs. 2 lakhs and gold
ornaments worth Rs. 5 lakhs, and threatened to kill the
informant and her father. The accused persons fled away when
local residents gathered, and the informant was taken for
medical treatment by the police.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
petitioners are innocent and they have been falsely implicated in
the present case due to previous enmity between the parties,
which is apparent from a bare perusal of the First Information
Report (FIR). It is further submitted that there is no specific
allegation against the petitioners; rather, the specific allegations
have been levelled against co-accused Sintu Singh, who is
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 18917 of 2025(2) dt.16-04-2025
3/4
alleged to have assaulted the informant with an iron rod on her
left thigh and wrist. The learned counsel refers to the injury
report of the informant, annexed as Annexure-3 to the present
bail petition, which reflects that the informant complained of
pain in her leg and hand. However, no fracture or grievous
injury was found on her person. It is also submitted that there is
an unexplained delay of ten days in lodging the FIR, and no
plausible explanation has been given for the same, which could
casts serious doubt on the genuineness of the prosecution case.
Lastly, it is submitted that petitioner no.1 has six other criminal
cases pending against him, while petitioner no.2 has three
criminal cases pending against him.
5. Learned APP has opposed the prayer for bail.
6.Having considered the facts and circumstances of
the case and submissions of learned counsel for the parties, in
the event of arrest or surrender before the Court below within
six weeks from today, the petitioners be released on bail upon
furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with
two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the
learned ACJM -IV, Munger, in Kharagpur PS Case No. 200 of
2024,subject to the conditions laid down in Section 482(2) of
the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, and further (i)
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 18917 of 2025(2) dt.16-04-2025
4/4
that the petitioners shall co-operate in the trial and shall be
properly represented on each and every date fixed by the Court
and on their absence on two consecutive dates without sufficient
reason, their bail bonds shall be cancelled by the Court below,
(ii) that one of the bailors will be their own blood relation,
preferably father, mother, brother, sister and or his wife, (iii) that
the bailors shall also state on affidavit that they will inform the
court concerned if the petitioners are made accused in any other
case of similar nature after their release in the present case and
thereafter the court below will be at liberty to initiate the
proceeding for cancellation of bail on ground of misuse, and (iv)
that if the petitioners tamper with the evidence or the witnesses,
in that case, the prosecution will be at liberty to move for
cancellation of bail, and (v) that the petitioners will appear
before the SHO of concerned PS every fortnightly to mark their
attendance till conclusion of the trial.
7. The application stands allowed.
