Mr.Chandra Bhushan Prasad ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 29-02-2020 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Brahampur PS case no. 488 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 354(B), 341, 342, 506, 509/34 of Indian Penal Code and Section 4/8 of POCSO Act.

The case of the prosecution in brief is that while the informant was en-route and had arrived near the shop of one Sanjay Sah, the petitioner along with other accused persons had arrived there and started talking to the informant in an abusive language. The petitioner along with other accused persons are stated to have removed the dupatta from the body of the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8694 of 2020(2) dt.29-02-2020 2/2 informant and had tried to drag her towards a field with oblique motive, whereupon the informant had raised alarm resulting in her mother and other villagers having arrived at the place of occurrence, whereupon the petitioner and others had fled away. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case, he is having a clean antecedent and the alleged incident having taken place in the market area, appears to be imaginary.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the seriousness of the charges and the gravity of the allegations levelled against the petitioner herein, I do not find that the present case is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail, accordingly, the present petition stands dismissed.
