IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20811 of 2010 RANJEET KUMAR RAI @ RANJEET RAI S/O Sri Mahendra Rai, R/O vill. Kutubpur, P.S. Sakra, Distt. Muzaffarpur………Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR…………..O.P. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Neeraj Kumar,Advocate. For the State: Mr. Dinesh Singh. A.P.P. 2. 23.06.2010 Heard the parties. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case instituted for offence under Sections 448, 376 (2) (g), 302, 201/34 of I.P.C. According to prosecution case this petitioner and co- accused Rajiv Kumar Rai are alleged to have committed gang rape upon the victim (deceased). Subsequently victim was murdered and her dead body was also made traceless. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that in fact informant is not an eye-witness and there is no legal material to substantiate the allegation of gang rape as well as murder against the petitioner. Some other co-accused persons, who were not named in the F.I.R., are said to have been granted anticipatory bail by this court. Be that as it may, in view of the fact the petitioner is specifically named in the F.I.R. as an accused and there is serious allegation of his participation in the gang rape and murder, this court is not persuaded to accede to his prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. It is accordingly rejected. The petitioner must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today in connection with 2 Sakra P.S. Case No. 71/07 pending in the court of C.J.M., Muzaffarpur and seek regular bail if so advised, which shall be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudice by the present order.
