Decided On February 24, 2011
Md. Adil Appellant
V/S
STATE OF JHARKHAND Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE Petitioner Md. Adil has preferred this criminal revision Under Section 53 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 for setting aside the order impugned dated 20.12.2010 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Godda in criminal appeal No. 141/2010 by which prayer for bail of the Petitioner rejected by the Juvenile Justice Board, Godda in enquiry No. 217/2010 for the alleged offence Under Section 302/120B/34 of the Indian Penal code 27 of the Arms Act was affirmed and his appeal was dismissed.

(2.) THE prosecution story in short was that the contractor Mani Kant Sah was shot dead by the miscreants namely Gulam Ansari, Sahwaj Ansari and Cloud Kisku by means of firearms. The First Information Report was instituted against named accused persons. Admittedly the Petitioner was not named in the First Information Report, yet, he was remanded in the instant case on 25.10.10 on the basis of his confessional statement wherein he admitted that he had assisted the accused persons in the said offence. It was alleged by the informant (widow of the deceased) that two boys came to her home and had demanded extortion money in the name of Cloud Kisku and Gulam Ansari. There was no material except his confessional statement before the police.

(3.) LEARNED Senior Counsel Mr. Dev submits that there appears gross error of record in the impugned order. There was no allegation of participation of the Petitioner in commission of murder of the husband of the informant.
