IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5288 of 2009 SUGAN RAM @ Sugan Mushar son of Bihari Mushar, resident of village- Dechana Bal, P.S.-Piro, Dist.-Bhojpur. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 11.8.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case which has been registered for the offence under section 366A of the Indian Penal Code. The victim girl in her statement under section 164 Cr.P.C. has described the manner in which she was raped by this petitioner and one Sanjay Rai. Co-accused Sanjay Rai has been refused bail by a Bench of this Court on 17.7.2008 in Cr.Misc. No.13366 of 2008. As one of the similarly situated co-accused has been refused bail, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner in spite of the fact that he is in custody since 2 ½ years. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. Md.S. (Shyam Kishore Sharma,J.)
