JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. Nandan Prasad, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Ruby Pandey, A.P.P. --- 02/17.03.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. Case No.20 of 2025, arising out of Mahuadanr P.S. Case No. 53 of 2024, for the offences registered under Sections 64(1), 74, 351 of the B.N.S., pending in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Latehar. It is alleged that the petitioner used to cast an evil eye on the informant. In the month of August, 2024, he entered into the house of informant and raped her. It was submitted that there is delay in lodging the F.I.R. From the perusal of the F.I.R., it appears that the husband of the informant was not present when the occurrence had taken place. It further appears that this F.I.R. was instituted only after the husband of the informant had returned home. In view of the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to release the petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. (Ambuj Nath, J.) Jay/-
