IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1108 of 2009 1. Yogender Sah, Son of late Ram Baran Sah. 2. Rita Devi wife of Yogender Sah. Both resident of Village- Narayanpur, P.S. Pipradhi, District- Sheohar…..Petitioners. -Versus- The State of Bihar……………………………….Opposite Party. ----------- For the petitioners: Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhayay, A.P.P. ---------- 4. 16.04.2009. The two petitioners are named in the First Information Report and are in custody in connection with Pipradhi P.S. Case No. 65 of 2008 registered under Sections 366(A), 120(B)/3 4 of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged that Poonam Kumari, the daughter of the petitioners, came to the house of the informant at about 9.00 A.M. on 12.09.2008 and invited her to accompany her to Pipradhi Bazar and as Nagina Kumari had some work in Pipradhi Block, she willingly accompanied Poonam Kumari. At about 8.30 P.M. Poonam Kumari came to the house of the informant enquiring whether Nagina Kumari had returned home as she had left her and gone some where. In course of frantic search for her, the informant learnt that Nagina Kumari was in the house of the petitioners but on visiting them she could not be found. It was alleged that all the accused including the petitioners induced minor Nagina Kumari to leave her house and had taken away her to force or seduce her to illicit intercourse with other persons. Although there is no eye witness to the occurrence several people did chance to see the petitioners accompanying Poonam - 2 - Kumari and Nagina Kumari towards Pipradhi Bazar. The girl has still not been recovered. Applying the theory of “last seen together” and in view of the girl not having been recovered till now, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Their prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected. U.K. (Abhijit Sinha,J)
