IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17537 of 2009 LALAN YADAV S/O-Devakrit Yadav, R/O-Vill-Tikaura, P.S.-Makhdumpur, Distt.-Jehanabad. …………………………………………..Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …………………………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- 3/ 30.07.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned APP appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is one of the two named accused of the case which has been registered under Section 376(G) and Sections 3 (1-X)(XII) of the SC/ST (P) Act. Allegation is that the informant aged 15 years was raped by this petitioner and co- accused at about 4.00 p.m. on 12.09.2008 after saying that she is a ‘Harijan’ and therefore she should be raped. Submission is that the victim was medically examined on the next date and no sign of rape was found. The medical examination was conducted after more than 24 hours. There is direct allegation of rape on a minor girl. 2 Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the above named petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail in the court below if the informant does not support the prosecution case. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
