ORAL ORDER
7 02-02-2017Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.
The Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 379/302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Allegation against the petitioner is that he committed rape and murder of Dropadi Kumari, the minor daughter of the informant.
Submission of the petitioner is that during investigation it has not come from any other material that petitioner has committed rape and murder of Dropadi Kumari; rather some of the witnesses stated that there was love-affairs between the two, which was not liked by the mother of the deceased, and when the Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.40598 of 2016 (7) dt.02-02-2017 2/2 matter came to public deceased fled away and committed suicide.
Considering the allegation against the petitioner and the fact that investigation is going on, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner in connection with Hathauri (Shivaji Nagar O.P.) Police Station Case No. 85 of 2015 pending in the court of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Rosera, Samastipur/Successor Court.
Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
