IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 7911 of 2016 Ravi Nayak …Petitioner -V e r s u s- The State of Jharkhand ...Opp. Party CORAM: - HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR For the Petitioner : - Mr. P.S.A. Swaroop Pati, Advocate For the Opp. Party :- Mr. Manoj Kumar No.2, A.P.P. 03/22.11.2016 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner is an accused in a case registered for the offences punishable under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and also under section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual offences Act, 2012, in connection with Sessions Trial No.55 of 2015 arising out of Adityapur P.S. Case No. 43 of 2015, corresponding to G.R. No. 89 of 2015, pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-1, Seraikella. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged by the informant in the F.I.R. The medical report also does not conclusively establish that rape was committed on the informant by the petitioner. On the other hand, learned A.P.P. while opposing the prayer for bail submits that the informant is a minor girl and there is a direct allegation against the petitioner of committing rape. The said statement made in the F.I.R. has also been supported in her subsequent statement recorded under section 164 of the Cr.P.C. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the bail application of the petitioner is, hereby, rejected. (Rajesh Shankar, J.)
