IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.15955 of 2009 MAHENDRA PASWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 21.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case which has been registered under Sections 376, 313 and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Informant who claimed herself to be 13 years alleged that the petitioner committed rape. Thereafter time and again he had continued physical relationship with her and she became pregnant. The pregnancy was terminated at the instance of the petitioner. It would appear from First Information report that Rs.5000/- was imposed as fine by the Panchayat which was not given by the petitioner. So, this case has been lodged. He further submits that as per medical board age of the girl has been assessed 16 to 17 years. Having considered the facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after four months. Kundan (S. P. Singh, J.)
