For the Petitioner/s :
Mr.Md. Naushad Uzzoha For the Opposite Party/s :
Mr.Shailendra Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 05-04-2019 Heard.
The present petition is a second attempt on the part of the petitioner for grant of regular bail in connection with Narpatganj P.S. Case No. 255 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under sections 363, 366(A), 385/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
A co-ordinate Bench of this Court, by an order dated 2.7.2018 had earlier rejected the prayer for bail made by the petitioner herein on the ground that after the victim girl was recovered and produced before the Magistrate, her age was assessed as 16 years and she had supported the complaint of her being kidnapped by administering intoxicant.
The only argument advanced by the learned counsel
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.20037 of 2019(2) dt.05-04-2019 2/2 for the petitioner is that the petitioner is in custody since a long time i.e. since 1.2.2018 and the trial is not proceeding, hence, the petitioner should be granted the privilege of regular bail. It is also submitted that the charges have also not been framed till date.
I have considered the facts and circumstances of the case and I find that the petitioner has engaged in heinous crime and there has been no change of circumstances during the interregnum period i.e. from the day the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail was earlier rejected by this Court and till date, hence, there is no occasion to consider the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail afresh, thus the present petition is dismissed.
