IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.9347 of 2010 PINTU KUMAR s/o Rajkumar Singh Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 18.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and section 3(xii) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Taking into consideration the fact that there is direct allegation against the petitioner of having committed rape upon the victim, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial. JA/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
