IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7987 of 2008 REYAZ MIAN @ REYAJ MIAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 05/05/2008 The petitioner seeks bail in connection with 376/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is named accused of the case which was registered on the basis of written report of the informant Lalpati Devi aged about 14 years alleging therein that she was forcibly lifted and raped. Submission is that there is delay in lodging the FIR and the delay has remained unexplained. There is no medical corroboration and enmity is the motive of the false implication. There is direct allegation against the petitioner of committing rape, so I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail in the court below after examination of the victim. avin. (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
