IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23486 of 2009 SURYA KANT GIRI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04. 29.10.2009 Allegation against the petitioner is that he forcibly got the marriage of a minor solemnized with the relation of his. It is alleged that later on when complaint was made by the father of the girl, petitioner along with others even assaulted him. In this background Masaurhi P S Case No.133 of 2009 came to be instituted under sections 323, 363 and 366A/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that though in the FIR the age of the girl has been described as 13 years but the doctor has assessed her age as 16-17 years. In the statement under section 164 there seems to be no threat or coercion which was used. Petitioner even otherwise supposed to have facilitated and played a minor role in the whole incident. Be that as it may, let the petitioner Surya Kant Giri be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the S D J M, Masaurhi (District – Patna) in Masaurhi P S Case No.133 of 2009. One of the surety will be executed by a close blood relation of the petitioner on due identification. It is further recorded that petitioner will not coerce any witness or the informant and will - 2 - appear before the trial court on each and every date either through himself or through his counsel. Any breach may disentitle the privilege of bail. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
