IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34986 of 2008 GUDDU YADAV, Son of Radhe Yadav, resident of Village- Singhagore, P.S.- Banka, District- Banka :--------Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR :------ Opposite Party. ----------- For the petitioner :- Mr. Brij Nandan Prasad, Advocate. For the Opposite Party. :- Mr. Nitya Nand Tiwari, A.P.P. ====== 3. 16.10.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case under Section 376 and other allied Sections of the Penal Code which is said to have been lodged 10 days after the occurrence but from the First Information Report itself it is evident that the delay has been explained as the matter was reported to the Surpanch who took his own time to resolve the dispute and failed. Petitioner is in jail custody since 28.2.2008. In the circumstances, at this stage I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. His prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected with liberty to renew after completing one year in jail custody. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
