IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20715 of 2009 KARPURI DAS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03 29.07.2009 Heard both sides. Petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Sections 364, 365 of the Indian Penal Code. An apprehension has been made against the petitioner in the F.I.R. that from the bazaar the victim was kidnapped by the petitioner and was confined in a room. Police recovered him. His statement was recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. on 24.3.2009, wherein he is said to have stated that the petitioner had kidnapped him. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, in fact, the petitioner had committed rape on the daughter of the informant, for which a separate case was lodged against him. However, there was a settlement arrived at between the parties and the girl was married to the boy. In this regard he draws attention of the Court to the documents placed at Annexures -2, 2/a and 2/b. It is contended that he is in custody since 24.3.2009. Having regard to the facts, appearing from the records this Court is not inclined to admit him 2 on bail for the present. Prayer for bail is, therefore, rejected. Petitioner, however, is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after four months. P.K. (K.K. Mandal, J.)
