The State of Bihar.

.... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Pramod Mishra, Advocate For the Informant : Mr. Rana Kant Jha, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Kanhaiya Kishore, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 23-06-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

This is an application for bail in connection with Gogri P.S.Case No. 108 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 376, 354B, 323 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code.

Petitioner is own uncle of the prosecutrix and FIR shows serious allegation against the petitioner. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the grandmother of the victim, who is one of the witnesses in this case, has not supported the prosecution case and petitioner is in custody since 7.3.2017.

Heard learned APP and learned counsel for the informant also.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.20670 of 2017 (3) dt.23-06-2017 2/2 Having heard both sides and from perusal of the case diary it appears that so many witnesses have stated against the petitioner and supported the prosecution version, in such view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However, as the case has been committed to the court of sessions, as submitted, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial.

Once prosecutrix and her mother have been examined, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the court below, who will consider the same on the basis of materials available on record at that time.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed.
