The allegation against the petitioners is that in the night of 11.10.2008 at 9.00 p.m. they entered into informant’s house and tried to ravish the informant’s daughter and that on her cry the parents including the family members ran towards her room where she was sleeping. The parents were assaulted and the clothes of the victim were torn and physical assault amounting to outrage the modesty was also done. There is also allegation that the petitioners had assaulted the parents with lathi and had snatched ear-ring and chain from the person of the victim. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that in this case Dy. S.P. has supervised the case and he has found it a case of Section 354 I.P.C. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners and informant are close Pattidar. Learned counsel for the informant submits that witnesses in the case-diary have supported the occurrence. He has further submitted that despite being pattidars the petitioners have committed the offence. Thus hearing and considering the nature and gravity of allegations, I do not find it a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected. Mkr. (C.M. Prasad, J.)
