ORDER
Heard
learned advocates for the parties. Rule is fixed forthwith with the
consent of learned advocates for the parties.
The
applicant accused who has been arrested in connection with C.R. No:
I-20/2008 registered with Santrampur Police Station for the offence
punishable under section 363, 366 and 376 of I.P. Code, has moved
this Court under section 439 of Cr.P.C. For seeking regular bail,
pending trial.
The
accused applicant appears to have approached the Sessions Court,
Godhra, by preferring Cri. Misc. Application No. 305 of 2010 which
came to be rejected by 2nd Addl. Sessions Judge, Godhra
vide order dated 13/5/2010.
This
Court has taken into consideration the averments made in the FIR,
and the nature of evidence as it is reflected in the order of the
trial court. Shri Pandya for M/s HL Patel Advocates for the
applicant submits that the girl was of the age where she had
capacity to use her discretion and even after she was available to
the concerned police, it is submitted that she did not show
willingness to accompany her parents and therefore she was sent to
Nari Suraksha Gruh. These facts are verified as could be seen from
the record. The fact remains that the girl was apprehensive of being
beaten by the parents. Be that it may, looking to the facts &
circumstances of the case and the averments in the complaint, this
Court is convinced that the applicant has made out case for
enlarging him on bail pending trial for the following reasons:
Allegations
made in the FIR and the nature of evidence so far as the present
applicant is concerned deserves to be taken into consideration for
enlarging him on bail.
Prosecution
has not expressed any apprehension that if the applicant is enlarged
on bail he is likely to influence the witnesses.
Prosecution
has not expressed any apprehension about applicant/accused that if
he is enlarged on bail, is likely to flee from justice.
The
trial court has not appreciated this aspects of the case and
therefore the order of the trial court is required to be quashed and
set aside and accordingly it is hereby quashed and set aside.
The
aforesaid observations are made only for the purpose of examining
the prayer for bail pending trial. These observations are prima
facie and shall have no bearing whatsoever upon the trial and the
trial court shall not be influenced by it in any way and come to its
own conclusion after analyzing the evidence that may be led during
the trial.
In
view of the above, applicant’s case for bail deserves positive
consideration.
Accordingly
the application is allowed. The applicant is ordered to be released
on bail in connection with Crime Register No.I-20/2008 of Santrampur
Police Station, on his executing a bond of Rs. 5,000=00(Rupees Five
Thousand only), with one surety of same amount to the satisfaction
of the Court below and subject to the conditions that he shall :
(a) not
take undue advantage of his liberty or abuse his liberty:
(b) not
