THE STATE OF BIHAR ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Jagnnath Singh, Advocate Ms. Jyoti Joshi, Advocate Mr. Bhargava Pandey Md. Ghulam Mustafa, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Dashrath Mehta ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANDEEP KUMAR ORAL ORDER 21-07-2023 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Gaurichak P.S. Case No. 181 of 2023 registered for the offence under Sections 376, 356, 379, 384, 385, 504, 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4/6 of the POCSO Act and Section 67(A) of the I.T. Act.

As per the prosecution case, the petitioner has raped the informant on multiple occasions and has been threatening her that he will make public the photographs etc. This has continued even after the informant got married. Though, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that on one occasion when the petitioner is said to have raped the informant then the petitioner was appearing in intermediate examination, and therefore, the entire F.I.R. is false.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.38972 of 2023(2) dt.21-07-2023 2/2 Learned counsel appearing for the informant has submitted that during investigation, the police has found materials against the petitioner and found the allegations true. Learned counsel appearing for the informant has also submitted that the girl was being threatened and terrorized by the petitioner and her photographs were being made public on facebook by the petitioner. These kind of persons who are indulging in such crime do not deserve sympathy of this Court. Learned A.P.P. has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

In view of the aforesaid fact, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer of bail of the petitioner is rejected herewith.

The District Judge, Patna is directed to expedite the trial of all the cases in one court pending against the petitioner. (Sandeep Kumar, J) Guddu/- U T
