Dharmendra Paswan @ Dharmendra Kumar v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court oral order 09-12-2024, Rajiv Roy J; CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS No.64500 of 2024; bail application rejected (dismissed); petitioner Dharmendra Paswan @ Dharmendra Kumar in judicial custody; Special (POCSO) Case No. 103/2024; Naubatpur P.S. Case No. 231 of 2024; FIR 24.04.2024 by informant Gyatri Devi; offences under Sections 377 IPC and Sections 4/6 POCSO Act; unnatural sex on seven-year-old boy lured with cold drinks/eatables; blood oozing from private parts; counsel's innocence plea unavailing; heinous crime; no relief granted.
What did the court decide?
Learned counsel's attempt to show the petitioner's innocence was unavailing: a perusal of the FIR shows that not only did the boy complain of the unnatural sex, the informant also found blood oozing from the child's private parts. ¶16
