IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34414 of 2008 BUNTY KUMAR @ ARVIND KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02- 25.8.2008 Hear Mr. Shailendra Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. R B Ray Raman, learned APP. The petitioner seeks bail in Buxar (Town) P S Case No.22/2007 registered under Section 364 and 366A of the Indian Penal Code. It appears from a perusal of the materials on record that the present petitioner is alleged to have sold one Asha Kumari 16 years, to a third person whereafter she was taken to Allahabad, was intoxicated and raped in that state. She was ultimately recovered and brought back to Buxar. Learned counsel for the petitioner relies on the order dated 18.5.2007, passed by this Court in Cr. Misc. No.21761 of 2007 (Dina Nath Pandey vs. State of Bihar), whereby a co-accused has been granted bail in this case. He further submits that the petitioner is in custody since 2.7.2007. Learned APP opposes the application for bail. 2. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. It is accordingly rejected. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
