IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.33119 of 2008 PRAMOD KUMAR MAHTO @ YOGENDRA MAHTO, Son of Sheo Narayan Mahto, resident of Village Paharpur, Kodariya, P.S. Bibhutipur, District Samastipur -------------Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ------------Opp. Party ----------- 2. 16.10.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused for an offence under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code in connection with Bibhutipur P.S. Case No.99/2008. In view of the nature of allegation levelled against the petitioner with regard to the commission of alleged rape, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. However, on surrender in case an application for regular bail is filed in the court below, the same would be considered on its own merits without being prejudiced by the present order.
