It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the instant case has been filed in retaliation to Islampur P. S. Case No. 111 of 2019 dated 22. 03. 2019 which was instituted by the accused Somari Devi against Peru Kewat, the informant of the present case against his family members for the offence inter alia under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code. It is further contended that the prosecution has not come with clean hands and has suppressed the relevant facts and by Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 21507 of 2020(2) dt. 07-07-2020 2/2 fabricating and concocting a false story, instituted the present case in order to put pressure upon the petitioner and his family members to compromise the Islampur P. S. Case No. 111 of 2019. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.
He contended that there is allegation against the petitioner that he entered inside the house and started to put colour upon his sister Khushboo Kumari, upon which she protested, which led to her assault and abuse at the hands of the petitioner. Having heard the parties and perused the materials available on record, the petitioner, who is stated to be an young boy, having no criminal antecedent and is in custody since 20. 01. 2020, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hilsa, Nalanda in connection with Islampur P.
