Ashok Sahani & Ors vs State Of Bihar on 11 July, 2011
                 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

                                 Ashok Sahani & Ors
                                         Versus
                                    State Of Bihar
                                       -----------

4/ 11.7.2011 I.A. No. 1334 of 2011

The appellant Pappu Singh has made prayer for bail

through the above I.A. The appellant and two others have been

found guilty and punished under section 376(2)(g) IPC.

The contention is that if the evidence of P.W. 9 is

analyzed, then it could be found that it may not be a case of taking

away the victim forcibly and subjecting her to sexual intercourse. It

was contended that the circumstances which have been discussed by

the trial court in rejecting the contentions of the defence were duly

available from the evidence of P.W. 9 and that appears more

probable with the age of the victim as stated by the doctor, which is

mentioned in paragraph 15 of the judgment. The doctor has found

the lady aged about 17-19 years and habituated to sex as may appear

from the description of her private parts. The contention further was

that the story of the lady having been forcibly taken away in

presence of her parents appears quite impossible.

Regard being had to the facts and circumstances of the

case, during the pendency of the appeal, let appellant Pappu Singh

be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10000/(ten

thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge III, Vaishali at Hajipur in
2

S.T. No. 38 of 2008.

As regards sentence of fine, realization thereof shall

remain stayed during the pendency of the appeal.
