Versus STATE OF BIHAR:------Opposite Party ----------- For the Petitioner :Mr. Arun Kumar Jha, Advocate. For the Opposite Party : Mr. Nitya Nand Tiwari, A.P.P. ===== 4. 17.11.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case under Section 376 and other allied Sections of the Penal Code. He is named in the First Information Report. The allegation of rape is corroborated by the Medical Officer, who examined the victim soon after the occurrence at the Primary Health Centre, Nirmali and his findings have been duly referred to in paragraph 6 of the order dated 27.2.2008 refusing bail to the petitioner. I see no reason to take different view in the matter. In the circumstances, this application is rejected. Petitioner is in jail custody for about one year and by now if the case (Marouna P.S.Case No. 03 of 2007) has not been committed then the same be committed to the court of Sessions forthwith and thereafter the trial be expedited and concluded within another nine months.
