For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Prakash Chandra Jha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Rajendra Prasad Nat ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 10-10-2017 The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Audyogik Kshetra (Industrial Area) P.S. Case No. 30 of 2017, registered for offences punishable under Sections 376 of Indian Penal Code and Section 4, 6 and 8 of POCSO Act. Allegation against the petitioner is of committing rape on the minor daughter of the informant.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that medical report does not support the prosecution story with regard to commission of rape on the victim girl and he has falsely been implicated in this case.

Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the offence is very heinous and committed with only five years old daughter of the informant.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.45457 of 2017 (3) dt.10-10-2017 Having heard both sides, considering the fact and circumstances of the case and serious nature of allegation, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, his application for regular bail is, accordingly, rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of six months. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sunil/- U T
