====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SATYAVRAT VERMA ORAL ORDER 27-06-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 195(A), 354(a), 354(b), 379, 504, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The informant alleges that Rafiganj P.S. Case No. 409 of 2021 was instituted against Bindu Mahto as he had attempted to molest the daughter of the informant, it is next alleged that Bindu was pressurizing the informant to enter into a compromise and when he refused, it is alleged that Bindu on 11.11.2022 caught his daughter and started dragging her towards the field with an intention to commit rape and Indal Mahto took away Rs. 20,000/- from the informant and even assaulted him with fist and legs.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.21212 of 2023(2) dt.27-06-2023 2/2 petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and has been falsely implicated in the present case, it is next submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR it would manifest that petitioner is alleged to have snatched Rs. 20,000/- from the pocket of the informant and even assaulted him with fist and legs but then no injury is suffered by the informant and the allegation of trying to commit rape hinges around Bindu. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned trial court within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court where the case is pending/successor court in connection with Rafiganj P.S. Case No. 406 of 2022 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C.
