Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.12764 of 2012 ====================================================== Prakash Sharma @ Prakash Kumar Sharma, son of Bhedi Sharma, resident of village-Belapemu, Dargah Tola, P.S.-Barhara, District-Purnea .... .... Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 28-03-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in connection with a case instituted for the offence punishable under [STATUTE] . It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that though the allegation in the F.I.R. is that the victim is a minor aged about 15 years, as a matter of fact, she is a major aged about 20 years and she out of her own has married the petitioner. This may be a consideration by the court below while considering the application for bail when the petitioner together with the victim appears or the victim is recovered and produced before the court. The case is still under investigation and the victim is yet to be traced. I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner in the facts and circumstances of the case. The petition is disposed of. Sanjeet/- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J)
