IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

Criminal Miscellaneous No.34102 of 2017 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -105 Year- 2016 Thana -BABUBARHI District- MADHUBANI ====================================================== Md. Anwarul Mansuri @ Anwarul Haque, S/o Late Hanif Mansuri, resident of Village- Ekhattha, P.S.- Khutauna, District- Madhubani. .... .... Petitioner

Versus

The State of Bihar.

.... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ratanakar Jha, Adv. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Nityanand Tiwary, A.P.P. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 23-08-2017 Heard Sri Ratnakar Jha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Sri Ntiyanand Tiwary, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor.

This is the second attempt for grant of bail on behalf of the petitioner in connection with Babubarhi P.S. Case No. 105/16 registered for the offence under Sections 366A, 376 of the Indian Penal Code and Section-4 of POCSO Act. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on 22.10.2016 vide Cr.Misc.No. 45733 of 2016 considering the seriousness of accusation as well as the fact that the petitioner had raped minor girl.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 23.06.2016 and though charge has

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.34102 of 2017 (2) dt.23-08-2017 2/2 been framed, case is not proceeding expeditiously. Considering the fact that on merit, earlier the prayer for bail was already rejected, there is no reason to review my earlier order. The petition stands dismissed. Since the petitioner is in custody and charge has been framed, while rejecting the prayer for bail , it is desirable to observe that the learned trial court as well as the prosecution may take appropriate steps for early disposal of the case.
