IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45196 of 2010 LAL SAHANI . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 02 26.03.2011 Heard both sides. Sole petitioner apprehending arrest in connection with a case instituted under diverse Sections of the Penal Code including Sections 376/511 of the Penal Code has approached this Court seeking anticipatory bail. As per F.I.R. while the prosecutrix had gone to take water on a tube well she was forcibly lifted by the petitioner and taken to a nearby orchard where an attempt was made to commit rape on her. ‘Hulla’ raised by the victim attracted witnesses whereafter the petitioner escaped from the place of occurrence. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the present allegation is concocted and propelled by previous animosity inasmuch as the uncle of the prosecutrix had forcibly constructed house on the land belonging to the petitioner which was subsequently removed. It is submitted that the police have not found the allegation true but cognizance has been taken. Considering the fact that the informant/victim is a minor girl aged about 16 years and there is specific allegation levelled against the petitioner, this Court is not 2 inclined to privilege him with anticipatory bail. Prayer for anticipatory bail is refused. Let petitioner surrenders and apply for regular bail which shall be considered and disposed of having regard to all facts appearing from record.
