Mr. Dr. Rabindra Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY PRIYA ORAL ORDER 07-02-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court vide order dated 20.4.2017 passed in Cr. Misc No. 11522 of 2017 with liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months if no substantive progress is made by the Trial Court. A report was called for from the Court below which has been received. From the report, it appears that after framing of charge in the case only one witness has been examined. Court below has mentioned in the report that presumably it will take three months time to conclude the trial.

From the written report, it appears that informant has raised suspicion against one Deepak Sharma who used to talk with her daughter. The victim girl, on recovery, has taken the name of the petitioner in her statement recorded under

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.902 of 2018(3) dt.07-02-2018 2/2 Section 164 of the Cr. P.C. and thereafter the petitioner was made accused in this case and he was charge-sheeted. Therefore, keeping in view the period spent by the petitioner in custody and also the fact that only one witness has been examined till date, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

Let the petitioner, named above, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned 1st Additional & Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge POCSO, Patna in connection with Bahadurpur P.S. case no. 202 of 2016, subject to the condition that both the bailors will be the close relatives of the petitioner.

The petitioner in any manner will not try to hamper the trial by intimidating or influencing the witnesses and will remain present on each and every date of trial. Any two subsequent defaults will result in cancellation of bail bonds in the Court below.
