IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35993 of 2009 PRADIP DAS S/O JALO DAS, resident of VILL- HIRNA, P.S- Katoriya, District Banka … Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR … Opp.Party ----------- 2. 29.10.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. It is unfortunate that a serious allegation u/ss 376/511 of the Indian Penal Code has been made on a shaky foundation which almost touches the fringe of its being a false and absurd case. This Court in this regard would find that the occurrence in question is said to have been committed on 12.12.2005 but no information of such occurrence had been given either to the police or to the court for next 14 days, inasmuch as the complaint petition had been filed only on 26.12.2005. The delay of 14 days by itself would raise a serious question mark on the version of the prosecutrix in her belated complaint petition becoming the basis of the F.I.R. That infact is not the end of the matter. It is on the record that the husband of the complainant-informant of the present case, namely, Karu Das was made accused in a 2 complaint case filed by Rajendra Das, who is also an accused in this case. Such complaint was filed on 13.12.2005 and the time and place of occurrence is also the same being 12.12.2005, wherein Rajendra Das, co-accused of this case, has specifically alleged about outraging of modesty of his wife by the husband of the complainant/informant of this case. It is, therefore, not difficult for this Court to make 2+2 to find out as to why the present case and that too by way of a complaint was filed after 14 days. That being the position, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the abovenamed petitioner is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Addl. Sessions Judge, F.T.C.II, Banka in S.T.No. 638/2009 corresponding to Katoria P.S.Case No. 13/2006. One of such sureties, however, must be either of the parents or the wife of the petitioner. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/ 3
