Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 2 18-07-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a case under [STATUTE] . The victim is aged about 13 years a student of the St. Cambridge Higher Secondary School, Dumraon and the petitioner is the school teacher in that School. However, on the medical examination her age has been assessed as 15-16 years. However, the medical report suggests that the hymen ruptured and vagina torned and the victim herself supported the allegation in her statement under Section 164 Cr. P. C. Hence, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected.
