IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.33965 of 2010 MD.FIROZ Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 9.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as for the State. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Rajoun P.S. Case no.160/2009 registered under section 376 of the IPC. The specific allegation against petitioner is that he committed rape on the informant while she was in her house. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the alleged occurrence took place on 8.12.2009 but the fardbeyan was recorded on 15.12.2009 and no explanation of the aforesaid delay has been given. He further submitted that, as a matter of fact, the informant as well as his other family members pressurized petitioner for marriage but when petitioner refused to accept the aforesaid proposal, informant lodged this false case against petitioner. He also stated that on the same day i.e. 15.12.2009, informant filed a complaint case being Complaint case no.1897/2009 in which five persons including petitioner were made accused. So the aforesaid circumstances clearly suggest falsity of the present case but I am not at all convinced with the submissions of learned counsel for petitioner. In the aforesaid circumstances, the prayer for anticipatory bail of petitioner stands rejected. The petitioner must surrender before the court below 2 within thirty days from today and seek regular bail which shall be considered by the learned court below on its own merit without being prejudiced by this rejection order.
