Ravi Kumar, S/O-Raju Mahto
Versus
The State Of Bihar
-----------
03 17.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as
learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.
Petitioner is in jail custody since 13.09.2010 in a case
registered under Sections 366A/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Admittedly, the victim has already returned to her home
and her statement under Section 164 of the Cr.P.C. has been recorded.
The victim has stated that she was taken away by the petitioner and
his associates and subsequently, petitioner established physical
relationship with her.
The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is
that petitioner and victim were in love and, as a matter of fact, at the
instigation of the victim, the petitioner solemnized his marriage with
victim in a temple and subsequently, he dropped the victim at her
home but due to pressure of her parents victim took U-turn and stated
a concocted story in her statement recorded under Section 164 of the
Cr.P.C.
Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as
well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioner be released on bail
on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two
sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial
Magistrate, Patna in connection with Digha P.S. Case No. 180 of
2009.
