IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.10949 of 2010 RAJU SINGH son of Late Sahdeo Singh Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 6/ 23.06.2010 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 the allegation against the petitioner is of having raped the prosecutrix and this version was supported by her in the 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 trial in view of the serious nature of the offence.
