IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3348 of 2010 1. RAJEEV KUMAR 2. SANTOSH KUMAR ---- PETITIONERS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ---- OPP. PARTY. ----------- 02 29.01.2010 Heard both sides. Petitioners seek anticipatory bail in a case instituted under diverse Sections of the Penal Code including Section 376 of the Penal Code. As per allegation in the F.I.R., while the parents of the victim was away from house, these two petitioners entered into the house and tried to outrage her modesty. She, however, escaped from the place. It is further alleged that these two petitioners committed loot in the house. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there appears to be inordinate delay in lodging the case which again was belatedly placed before and seen by the learned Court. He next submits that the villagers had lodged a complaint against the informant. This Court finds from (Annexure-2), that the said application was filed a month after the alleged occurrence and the present F.I.R. Looking to the allegations, this Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Prayer for anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected. Let petitioners surrender and apply for regular bail 2 before the Court below which shall be considered and disposed of by the Court below on their own merit uninfluenced by the present order passed by this Court in the present proceeding.
