(ORAL) This is a petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short ‘Cr.P.C.’) for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.810 dated 19.8.2009 registered under Sections 363, 366, 376, 120-B IPC at Police Station, Sadar Hisar, District Hisar. According to the prosecution case, the prosecutrix (Suman) is 16 years of age, who was raped by Satish Kumar and then by Ramesh Kumar son of Manphool. In her statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C, she has specifically stated that Satish’s wife Sulochna Devi (petitioner) had the knowledge about the rape who was keeping watch at the gate. The offence is serious. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any merit in the case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the same is hereby dismissed.
