IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22267 of 2010 Chandra Shekhar Manjhi, son of Gurucharan Manjhi, resident of Village Itahara, P.S. Ariari, District Sheikhpura Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 2. 14.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. This application is for anticipatory bail for offence under Section 366A/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the F.I.R. has lodged after 9 months and the statement of the victim was under the influence of the parents and the petitioner was a consenting party. It has come in the investigation that she is major and aged about 18-20 years as per the age assessed by the Medical Board. However, the victim in her statement under Section 164 Cr. P.C. alleged that Chandra Shekhar and two others took her and Chandra Shekhar has kept her for two months and from there she has come to Sijauli and informed her mother. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. 2 However, if the petitioner files a petition for regular bail that may be considered on it’s own merit without being prejudiced of this order. S.S.
