====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR VERMA ORAL ORDER 25-01-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to remove the defect(s), as pointed out by the office, if any, within a period of four weeks from today.

Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 376, 384, 388, 506 and 509 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 66(E) of the I.T. Act. According to prosecution case, the petitioner, namely, Ravish Kumar was giving tutions to the children of the informant and in that course he managed to obtain the pictures of informant while taking bath in the washroom and started blackmailing her on threat of making the pictures viral. The petitioner has obtained about Rs. 2,00,000/- from her and demanding more.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.34756 of 2022(5) dt.25-01-2023 2/2 petitioner has clean antecedent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. He further submits that the informant took huge amount from him in the pretext of love and when the petitioner demanded the amount, she filed the false and fabricated submissions. He further submits that the police has not investigated the mobile phones which was produced before the police by the petitioner. He further submits that the police after investigation submitted the charge sheet against the petitioner. The petitioner is in custody since 30.01.2022. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that the statement of the victim was recorded under Section 164 of the Cr.P.C. in which she has supported the allegation as alleged in the F.I.R.

Considering the aforesaid facts, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with STR No. 213 of 2022 arising out of Mahila P.S. Case No. 02 of 2022 pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-1, Vaishali. Prayer is refused.
