IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38318 of 2008 1. MURARI VERMA 2. SONU VERMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 21/10/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The petitioners apprehend arrest in a police case under Sections- 385, 147, 323, 504, 354, 447, 448 and 380 of I.P.C. and 3(1)(x) S.C./S.T. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Alleging false implication learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the sister of the petitioners was sexually assaulted by the son of the present informant leading to the institution of Lakhisarai P.S. Case No.54/2007 dated 7.2.2007. The police submitted final form exonerating the accused. A protest petition was filed by the sister of the petitioner which was registered as protest-cum-complaint case no.362-C/08 by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lakhisarai when on 9.7.2008, by a reasoned order, the learned Magistrate recording his dissatisfaction with the police report directed further enquiry to be made in the complaint. It was only thereafter that the mother of the accused in Lakhisarai P.S. Case No.54/07 instituted the present prosecution - 2 - more as a measure of defence. The impugned order of rejection simply rejects anticipatory bail application because of the applicability of Section-18 of the S.C./S.T. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioners above named surrender before the court below within six weeks when they shall be enlarged on anticipatory bail upon furnishing the bail- bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) each along with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lakhisarai in SC/ST P.S. Munger P.S.Case No.84 of 2007, subject to the conditions laid down under Section-438(2) Cr.P.C. KC ( Navin Sinha, J )
