Criminal Miscellaneous No.16642 of 2016 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -21 Year- 2013 Thana -MAHILA P.S. District- PATNA ====================================================== Rahul Kumar @ Raj Srivastav, son of Umesh Prasad, Resident of village - Dhurgaon, Police Station - Ekangar Sarai, District - Nalanda .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Md. Soban Asghar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Narsingh Tanti(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 22-06-2016 Heard Sri Soban Asghar, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Narsingh Tanti, learned A.P.P. as well as Sri Deepak Kumar, learned counsel who has voluntarily appeared on behalf of the informant.

This is second attempt for grant of bail on behalf of the petitioner. Earlier, in view of seriousness of accusation as well as the fact that trial was at the fag end, prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected. In the present petition by order dated 11.5.2016 a report was called for from the court below regarding the stage of the case, which has been received and kept at flag 'A'. The report indicates that till the date of the report 11 prosecution witnesses were already examined. However, in the meanwhile, from the defence side a petition was filed for reexamination of the victim. It appears that only with a view to

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.16642 of 2016 (3) dt.22-06-2016 2/2 linger the trial such petition has been filed. However, without recording any opinion on such fact, I do not find any ground to review my earlier order.

The prayer for bail again stands rejected.
