Petition for bail.
2. The alleged offences are under Sections 363, 366 A, 376
and 201 of the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution, a girl
aged 15 years was kidnapped by petitioner and she was subjected
to rape. The incident happened on 28.03.2010.
3. Petitioner was arrested on 12.04.2010 and he is in
custody for the past 45 days. Learned counsel for petitioner
submitted that Annexure 1 is a statement given by victim to the
police and a reading of the same will show that her uncles were
torturing her sick mother and she had persuaded the petitioner to
take her away, since the torture was intolerable and he has not
committed any offence, it is submitted.
4. This petition is not opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor
submitted that he has no objection in granting bail but condition
may be imposed.
5. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail can be
granted on conditions. Hence the following order is passed:
B.A. No.3175 of 2010 2
Petitioner shall be released on bail on his
executing a bond for Rs.50,000/- with two
solvent sureties each for the like sum to the
satisfaction of the Magistrate Court concerned on
condition that petitioner shall report before the
Investigating Officer as and when directed.
This petition is allowed.
