JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 22-06-2016 The certified copy of the First Information Report of Itarhi P.S. Case No.240 of 2014 has been filed on behalf of the petitioner. Let it be kept on record. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Itarhi P.S. Case No.240 of 2014, disclosing offences under Section 363 of the Indian Penal Code. Upon perusal of the case diary, it appears that

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.15618 of 2016 (3) dt.22-06-2016 2/2 the victim is admittedly a minor and has alleged that the petitioner and another co-accused abused her sexually. In such circumstance, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner the privilege of anticipatory bail. This application is, accordingly, rejected.

The petitioner, abovenamed, is directed to surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so advised. If he does so, his application for regular bail shall be considered by the learned court below on its own merit without being prejudiced by rejection of present application for grant anticipatory bail.
