BIJENDRA SINGH Vs. STATE OF BIHAR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal is directed against the judgment and order passed by the learned Single Judge on 18th May, 2004, dismissing the writ application filed by the appellant in CWJC No. 1844/2000 (P).

(2.) ADMITTEDLY , the appellant, Bijendra Singh, was duly selected and appointed as a Constable in the Bihar Military Police in August, 1971. During the Lok Sabha Elections of 1996, the appellant was sent on deputation to the D.A.V. School, Hazaribagh, and while he was posted there, in 8th May, 1996, at about 8.00 p.m., an incident took place in the School, in which the appellant was sought to be involved.

(3.) THE story takes a slight twist thereafter, when two days later, a second complaint was lodged by Fuleshwar Mandal apparently over the self same incident, in which the incident is narrated with some differences, one of which was that not only Kishore Kumar Singh, but the present appellant also assaulted the complainant causing him injuries, which had to be treated at the Sadar Hospital. There are other differences, which suggest that the second complaint was lodged after the complainant had a chance to rethink over the incident.
