Criminal Miscellaneous No.11188 of 2017 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -240 Year- 2016 Thana -KAHALGAON District- BHAGALPUR ====================================================== Md. Chand, Son of Md. Mikai, resident of village - Nagra, Police Station Nathnagar, District - Bhagalpur .... .... Petitioner/s
Versus
The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance:
For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Dilip Kumar, Advocate. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Rajkishore Singh, APP. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 17-04-2017 Heard both sides.
The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Kahalgaon P. S. Case No. 240 of 2016 registered for the offences under Sections 376, 354, 109, 504 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant made allegation that the petitioner on the pretext of marriage established physical relation with her while victim was minor. Her grand maternal mother has told about the marriage of the victim with the petitioner. But later on, parents of the petitioner refused to marry the petitioner with the victim. It is also alleged that the petitioner along with his brotherin-law came and outraged her modesty. The petitioner subjected her to humiliation and that is why she made an attempt to end her life.
Leanred counsel for the petitioner submits that the
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.11188 of 2017 (3) dt.17-04-2017 2/2 petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. The victim herself wanted to marry with the petitioner.
Considering the aforesaid facts and the petitioner after refusal to marry tried to outrage the modesty of the victim, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this anticipatory bail application is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders in the Court below, the learned court below shall consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner without being prejudiced by the order of this court.
