The State of Bihar.

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Gopal Prasad Roy, Adv. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Bharat Lal, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AMARESH KUMAR LAL ORAL ORDER 11-03-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 376/511 of IPC. Allegation against the petitioner is to have enticed away the minor girl aged about 8 years in a barren place and tried to commit her rape. When the victim started crying the neighbours came there, thereafter the petitioner fled away. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case due to land dispute. The informant was called in a panchayati but he did not come and thereafter had lodged this case. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is aged about 63 years.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.52174 of 2014 (3) dt.11-03-2015 2/2 Learned counsel for the State submits that there is sufficient material in the case-diary to show that the petitioner was involved in such a heinous crime. After investigation charge-sheet has already been submitted.

Considering the facts and circumstances, in my opinion, the petitioner does not deserve bail at this stage. His prayer for bail is rejected.

Let the trial be expedited.
