IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6898 of 2011 JITENDRA MAHTO, SON OF NAWAL MAHTO Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 05.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. There is specific allegation against the petitioner that he committed rape on a minor girl and he was caught by the witnesses at the time of alleged occurrence. The medical report also corroborates the factum of rape. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the matter has already been compromised between the parties and, as a matter of fact, there was some sweet relationship between the petitioner and the victim girl but the aforesaid sweet relation was not liked by the villagers and petitioner was mercilessly beaten by the villagers and subsequently, he was handed over to the police. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Musahari P.S. Case No. 77 of 2010, stands rejected. However, the trial of the petitioner should be expedited. Shahzad (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J )
