Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 14.01.2011 Heard Mr. Md. Musowir, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. A.M.P. Mehta, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner, who is in custody in connection with Kadwa P.S. Case No. 153 of 2009 for the offence under Section 376/34 of the Indian Penal Code, has prayed for grant of bail. The informant, in the present case has stated that she was raped by this petitioner and other accused persons. Learned counsel for the petitioner while pressing the bail petition, submits that in the First Information Report itself the date of occurrence has been disclosed as 23.9.2009. However, F.I.R. was lodged after much delay i.e. on 12.11.2009. It has further been submitted that other two accused persons having similar allegations namely Latto Parihar and Chano Parihar have already been granted bail by this Court on 3.9.2010 in Cr. Misc. no. 29638 of 2010 and on 5.10.2010 and in Cr. Misc. no. 23431 of 2010 respectively by this Court. Since other two accused persons having similar allegations have already been extended the privilege of bail, 2 as well as keeping in view the fact regarding the delay in lodging the F.I.R., there is no reason to refuse the prayer for bail to the petitioner. Let the above named petitioner be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar in connection with Kadwa P.S.
