JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH) 2 27-01-2012 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Sadar P.S. Case No. 184 of 2005 registered under [STATUTE] pending in the court of learned 2nd Additional Sessions Judge, Darbhanga. The accusation was of abducting the victim and establishing forceful physical relationship.

Misc. No. 34503 of Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.2179 of 2012 (2) dt.27-01-2012 2 / 2 2 2009.

With the above observation, this application is, accordingly, disposed off. Let the order be transmitted to the learned court below through fax at cost of the petitioner.
