RAM KRIPAL PRASAD Vs. STATE OF BIHAR

Decided On January 07, 1985
RAM KRIPAL PRASAD Appellant
V/S
STATE OF BIHAR Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The three primarily significant issues, which have come to the fore in this reference to the Full Bench, may well be formulated in the terms following :-

(2.) Equally at issue is the correctness of the view of the learned single Judge in M/s. United Sports Works v. State of Bihar (Criminal Misc. Case No.102 of 1977 and analogous cases : decided on the 26th April, 1977). Inevitably some ancillary questions which arise would be dealt with in their related context.

(3.) Learned Counsel for the parties are agreed that the issues of fact and law are common and identical in this set of 21 criminal miscellaneous cases and this judgment would govern all of them. The representative matrix of facts may, therefore, be conveniently noticed from M/s. Kailash Talkies, Barauni, v. State of Bihar (Criminal Misc. Case No.4435 of 1979).
