JUSTICE CHANDRA PRAKASH SINGH ORAL ORDER 28-09-2022 Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to remove defect (s), as pointed out by the office, if any, within a period of four weeks on resumption of physical mode. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State.

The petitioner has preferred this application for grant of regular bail in a case registered under section 448, 376, 341, 354B, 420, 385, 506 and 509 of the Indian Penal Code. As per the prosecution case, the petitioner is alleged to have committed rape of the informant on the point of pistol after entering her house. On 14.01.2021 the petitioner also made an obscene video of the informant and cheated Rs. 1,50,000 from the informant and also threatened her by saying that he would

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.37061 of 2022(2) dt.28-09-2022 2/2 make her video viral if Rs. 5 Lakhs was not paid to him. Previously Ramgarh P.S. Case No. 495 of 2019 was also lodged by the informant against the petitioner for outraging her modesty. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. Nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. The petitioner is accused in two other criminal cases as stated in para 3 of the bail petition. The petitioner is in custody since 19.04.2022.

Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the bail petition of the petitioner.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, as well as the nature of allegation against the petitioner. I am not inclined to enlarge this petitioner above-named on bail. Learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same preferably within 6 months. The bail petition stands rejected.
