IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14181 of 2010 SONU @ SONU KUMAR SON OF SHIYA LAL CHAOUDHARY RESIDENT OF VILLAGE LAXMIPUR,P.S.SAKRA,DISTT.MUZAFFARPUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR For the petitioner : Mr.Shakeel Ahmad Khan,Sr.Advocate For the State : Mr.Adddl.P.P. ----------- 03/ 07.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks bail in Bahadurpur P.S.Case No. 25 of 2008 (Sessions Trial No. 972 of 2009/87 of 2010). Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on 25.11.2009 Vide Cr.Misc.No. 41430 of 2009 considering the fact that he is an accused in a case registered under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code. By order dated 19.05.2010 a report regarding stage of the trial was called which has been received. From the report it appears that the trial court has taken steps for conclusion of the trial and out of eight prosecution witnesses, two have been examined. In this case, only victim is material witness and she is yet to be examined. Considering this, presently I am not inclined 2 to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the trial court is directed to take steps to examine the victim and if the victim does not support the case, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the court below.
