IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3871 of 2009 RANDHIR KUMAR S/O SRI UPENDRA PRASAD SINGH, R/O VILLAGE- BARIYARPUR, P.S.- PIAR, DISTRICT- MUZAFFARPUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 16/04/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State. The petitioner is sole named accused of a case which has been registered under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant has described that as to how she was carried in sugarcane field and was raped. The occurrence was witnessed by Ayesha Khatoon. Submission is that the prosecutrix has been medically examined and there was no medical corroboration either of rape or of any external injury. The occurrence is of 20th June, 2008 and the victim was medically examined on 24th June, 2008 which is a long delay between the date of occurrence and the date of medical examination, so corroboration in medical examination is difficult to be found. The petitioner is sole named accused of the offence and it is very difficult to presume that a lady will come forward with such a false allegation of rape. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner presently on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer 2 for bail before the court below after the examination of the prosecutrix. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
