Mahavir Pahan v. the State of Jharkhand
Case brief
What is this about?
Justice Ananda Sen dismissed a bail application filed by Mahavir Pahan, an accused in a murder case. The High Court held that an eye witness who had recorded a statement under Section 164 CrPC had yet to be examined, making it high probability that she could identify the accused. Consequently, bail was rejected.
What did the court decide?
Bail prayer of the petitioner in Burmu Police Station Case No.05 of 2013 is hereby rejected. The application stands dismissed.
