Shiv Singh v. The State Of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court rejected the bail application of a sole accused in a rape case where the victim was a 12-year-old. The court held that the victim's statements under Sections 161 and 164 Cr.P.C. describing trauma outweighed the petitioner's arguments regarding alleged police fabrication and lack of physical signs. Bail was denied pending trial.
What did the court decide?
Prayer for bail is rejected presently.
