IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.48967 of 2008 Raj Kumar Sharma, Son of Late Ram Murat Sharma, resident of Village- Hela, P.S. Bheldi, District- Saran…………….Petitioner. -Versus- The State of Bihar…………………………………Opposite Party. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Chandra Shekhar Singh, Advocate. For the State : Mr. C. Jawahar, A.P.P. ------------ 5. 20.04.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner Raj Kumar Sharma who though not named in the First Information Report is incarcerated in connection with Parsa (Bheldi) P. S. Case No.63 of 2007 registered under Sections 366 and 366A of the Indian Penal Code. Although the petitioner was not named in the First Information Report, his name cropped up in the statement of victim Sahina Parveen @ Chanda recorded under section 164 Cr. P. C. wherefrom it appears that the petitioner, being a teacher, was very much present in the car in which she was kidnapped and he also participated in keeping her confined. From the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 Cr. P. C., it appears that she has disclosed her age as 16 years which is also the age assessed by the Magistrate. She therefore, was a minor under the law at the relevant time. The earlier foray of the petitioner to this court seeking bail was rejected vide order dated 27.3.2008 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 54502 of 2007. I do not find any fresh or compelling grounds to take a contrary view for release of the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. U.K. (Abhijit Sinha,J)
