IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40718 of 2009 DEEPAK KUMAR PANDEY @ DEEPAK MISHRA @ DEEPAK KUMAR MISHRA , Son of Krishna Chandra Pandey @ Krishna Chandra Mishra, resident of Village- Chailabhar Tola Kharwa, P.S. Majhaulia, District-West Champaran --------- Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 2 27-11-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that even if it is stated that the girl had volunteered to go with the petitioner that consent is of no consequence as she was a minor. The submission of the counsel is that now the petitioner has spent almost one year in custody and from the evidence and the statement of the girl it also comes that the petitioner never enticed her and even threatened the petitioner with dire consequence if he did not cooperate with her. No doubt, the petitioner has paid price for listening the minor for which in any way he will face the trial. Considering the statement of the girl under Section 164 Cr.P.C. and the period of detention of the petitioner, let the petitioner above named be enlarged on bail on - 2 - furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- ( ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Addl.Sessions Judge, F.T.C.No.II, Bettiah , West Champaran in connection with S.T. No.209/2009 arising out of Majhaulia P.S. Case No.266 of 2008. One of the sureties will be executed by the father of the petitioner and another by a close relative with due identification.
