IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.32014 of 2011 1. Sonu Mahto, 2. Kundan Mahto @ Fulan Mahto both sons of Sri Jitendra Singh, 3. Akhtar Mian son of Anwar Hussain & 4. Punjabi Sao son of Ram Babu Sao …Petitioners Versus The State Of Bihar …OP ----------- 2/ 28.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners seek bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 376 of the Indian Penal Code and section 3(i) (x) of the of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Considering that there is direct allegation against the petitioners of having gang raped the victim, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the serious nature of the offence. The Trial Court at the appropriate stage will consider as to whether the offence under section 376(2) (g) Indian Penal Code is made out in the facts of the case. JA/- (Anjana Prakash,J.)
