IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39887 of 2009 SURENDRA SINGH son of late Chandradeo Singh, resident of village-Mohari, P.S. Tariyani,District Sheohar. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 23/11/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Even if the entire allegation U/s 363, 366 A/120 B I.P.C. as against the petitioner is accepted, the following factors, namely, age of the victim girl being 16 years as is found by the Court in course of recording her statement under section 164 of the Cr.P.C. coupled with the circumstance that it was the son of the petitioner and the victim girl who had admittedly been sharing close relationship and that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent, are some of the notable feature which would still entitle the petitioner to be released on bail. That being so, the petitioner, namely, Surendra Singh is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of S.D.J.M. Seohar at Sitamarhi in Tariyani P.S. Case No.13 of 2009, subject to the condition that one of the bailer of the petitioner must be his close family relative. It goes without saying that the petitioner must cooperate in course of trial and his absence on two 2 consecutive dates will make him liable for cancellation of his bail.
