The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Muzaffarpur Mahila P.S. Case No. 37 of 2021 registered under Sections 341, 342, 376 of the I.P.C. and Section 4/6 of the POCSO Act.
Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case due to dirty village politics. Further he submits that petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State vehemently opposed the prayer of the petitioner by contending that petitioner is named in the first information report. There is
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26896 of 2022(5) dt.17-01-2023 2/2 direct allegation of rape against the petitioner. Further he submits that in the statement of the victim, recorded under section 164 Cr. P.C., she made the same allegation as alleged in the first information report. Hence, this is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail.
Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and nature of the allegation as well as the submissions advanced on behalf of the State, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner is rejected. shailendra/- (Arvind Srivastava, J) U T
