IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.12763 of 2010 MANOJ KUMAR JHA son of late Nab Kant Jha Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 20.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code. Considering that there is allegation against the petitioner of having raped the victim which has been supported by her in her statement recorded under section 164 Cr. P. C., I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trail in view of the serious nature of the offence.
