UPADHYAY This is an application under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. seeking pre-arrest bail of t he petitioner, namely, Sri Sanjeeb Kumar Singh, in connection with Lakhipur P.S . Case No. 41/2011 (G.R. Case No. 492/2011) under Sections 376/376 of the IPC. Heard Mr. A.K.Dutta, learned counsel for the petitioner and B.S.Sinha, learned A ddl. P.P. for the State of Assam. Perused the case diary and materials on record. On perusal of the statement of the victim, it appears that the victim has direct ly implicated the accused-petitioner in the alleged commission of rape.

Considering the facts and circumstances leading to the filing of the F.I.R and a lso considering the gravity of allegation levelled against the petitioner and fu rther considering the progress of investigation of the case, the prayer for pre- arrest bail stands rejected. Accordingly, the bail application stands disposed of.
