IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.50527 of 2008 SANJEEV KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 3.3.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation leveled against the petitioner constitutes an offence under section 354 IPC only. There is vague allegation regarding stabbing but for that the liability cannot be fixed upon the petitioner and a separate case also lodged. It may be a simple case of even attempt to rape but that is followed by violence. Petitioner was found dragging the victim. Her resistance also was replied in violence, even her cousins were stabbed and one of them has died. For that there is separate case but what is relevant here that nature of the attempt was such that the resistance was replied in violence to save the persons. Thus I find that it is not a fit case for bail. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail within six months if the trial is not concluded for no fault on his part. (Mandhata Singh,J.) AI
