IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1670 of 2010 RAMPRAVESH KUMAR S/O SHIBAN BHAGAT --- PETITIONER Versus STATE OF BIHAR --- OPP. PARTY ----------- 02 25.11.2010 Heard both sides. Petitioner, who has been declared juvenile in conflict with law, has approached this Court aggrieved by the order dated 14.09.2010 passed on Cr. Appeal no. 47 of 2010 by learned Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur whereby his prayer for release from remand home was considered and rejected. Learned Sessions Judge has observed as under:- “…Of course the appellant is juvenile but release of the appellant on bail would certainly shake the confidence of common people as the appellant is alleged to have committed rape with a minor. Hence, I am not inclined to enlarge the appellant on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of appellant is hereby rejected and the appeal is dismissed.” It appears from the F.I.R. that petitioner is facing a charge of having committed rape on a minor girl aged about 10- 11 years. He was declared juvenile as on the date of occurrence he was assessed over 12 years of age. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the father is ready to take upon himself the entire responsibility respecting the petitioner. It is next contended that the medical report does not support the allegation in toto. Petitioner is in remand home/custody since 19.06.2010. 2 Learned APP appearing on behalf of the State, on the other hand, submits that going by the allegation contained in the F.I.R. the criminal mind of the petitioner can very well be apparent. I have heard the parties and perused the materials on record including the two impugned orders passed by the two Court below. Having regard to the manner in which occurrence had been committed and there being no reason for false implication, this Court is in agreement with the observation of learned lower appellant Court as quoted above. Prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected. Petitioner shall have liberty to renew prayer for bail after 07 months, if the trial does not register substantial progress. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
