IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21415 of 2009 SAGIRA KHATOON Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 07.07.2009 Heard both sides. The sole petitioner seeks regular bail in a case instituted under Sections 376, 120B/34 of the Penal Code. She is named in the F.I.R. with an allegation that she persuaded the informant to come to her house where her ‘devar’ namely, Dast Mohammad committed rape on her. From the record it appears that the trial of the main accused, namely, Dast Mohammad had to be separated as the petitioner evaded her arrest. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the girl/victim was examined as a witness in Sessions trial no. 167/09 (relating to Dast Mohammad) wherein she has not deposed about the commission of rape. Referring to the averments made in paragraph no.16 it is contended that the said trial has ended in acquittal. It appears that the petitioner is in custody since last two months only. Having regard to the allegations spelt out in the F.I.R. as also considering the age of the girl/victim and the manner, in which she was trapped by the present petitioner, this court is not inclined to admit her to bail. The prayer for bail is 2 accordingly rejected. However, having regard to all the facts and circumstances that have been taken note of hereinabove, this court grants liberty to the petitioner to renew prayer for bail after six months if the trial in the meanwhile does not conclude.
