Crl. Misc. No. M-11267 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-11267 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 27.4.2011 Sukhbir Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. S.S. Majithia, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 376 & 506 IPC at Police Station Kathu Nangal, District Amritsar Rural, Amritsar, vide FIR No.14 dated 15th February, 2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that in fact no rape was committed on the prosecutrix. The petitioner has been falsely implicated and there was a delay in lodging the FIR. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. The complaint was lodged by Balwinder Kaur, who stated that prosecutrix, who was doing domestic chores at her residence, was raped by the petitioner on 9.2.2011 when he forcibly entered the house, took her to a cattle shed and raped her. After this fact was disclosed by the prosecutrix to the complainant, she lodged the instant FIR. The Crl. Misc. No. M-11267 of 2011 2 prosecutrix is stated to be 14 years old and has also made statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. The FIR was lodged as recently as on 15.2.2011. Admittedly, prosecution evidence is not commenced before the trial court. The prosecutrix is yet to step into the witness-box. Under the circumstances, no ground for extending the bail to the petitioner is made out at this stage. Dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 27.4.2011 'rajpal'
