IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1719 of 2011 MITHLESH PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 25.02.2011 Heard Mr. Kumar Alok, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. Anil Kumar Singh No.-I, learned counsel for the state. Allegedly, the petitioner attempted to commit rape upon a minor girl aged about 10 years but contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the instant case has been brought by the informant at the instance of enemies of the petitioner on account of the local politics. He also points out that the victim girl was neither produced before the court for recording her statement u/S 164 of the Cr.P.C. nor she was medically examined. So, even if prosecution story assumed to be true, then also at best it is a case of section-354 of the IPC whereas the petitioner is languishing in jail custody since 22.10.2010. In view of the aforesaid submissions as well as facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioner, namely, Mithlesh Prasad be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Asthawan P.S. Case No. 117 of 2010 to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda at Bihar Sharif. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
