IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41642 of 2009 Kari Mahto, S/o Shivji Mahto, resident of Village-Bhirha Dachchin Tola Usraha, P.S. Rosera, District-Samastipur. ………Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar ……………………….Opposite Party. ----------- 3. 01. 04. 2010. Heard Mr. Rajendra Narayan Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Achhalal Pandit, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Rosera P.S. Case No. 61/2008 dated 04. 06. 2008, registered under Sections 341 and 376 of the Indian Penal Code. According to the prosecution case, there is direct allegation against the petitioner of committing rape upon the informant/complainant. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there was previous enmity between the parties and for that reason he has been falsely implicated in this case. Be that as it may, in view of the nature of allegation against the petitioner, this Court is not persuaded to accede to the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. The petitioner must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and, if so advised, seek regular bail. If such a petition is filed then the same may be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. m.p. ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.) 2
