IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2716 of 2009 MOHAMMAD IMTEYAZ @ MOHAMMAD IMTEYAZ MALI & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 1.5.2009 Though the allegation of rape of the informant by the petitioners under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code in the complaint petition had been found to be ultimately to be true only to the extent outraging be modesty, under section 354 of the Indian Penal Code, in course of taking cognizance of the offence but then as it is a criminal case of the year 2005 and the petitioners being named accused have successfully evaded their arrest for nearly four years, this court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, namely, Mohammad Imteyaz @ Mohammad Imteyaz Mali and Mumtaz. Their prayer for anticipatory bail is, therefore, rejected. In the event they would surrender within a period of four weeks from today, their prayer for regular bail would be considered by the court below without being prejudiced by the rejection of their prayer for anticipatory bail by this order.
